Hi,

I have found this small Peziza directly by a little river in a coniferous forest. Because of my interest in collecting operculate ascomycetes growing on soil I tried to determine this one as usual, but there is a problem I hope to get solved here ;)

Along the keys to Peziza species, you will end at Peziza badiofuscoides, but my problem is the spore size: 17-18,5x9,5-10 µm. It does not fit well to P. badiofuscoides, but the more to Peziza badia. The problem here are the size of the fruitbodies (< 50 mm!) and the spores, containing only one big guttule or one big guttule and a second one with lower size. That does not also fit well to Peziza badia...

Are there any other species with olivebrown fruitbodies and "one-guttuled-spores" with a complete reticulum? If there are more details needed, I will try to describe it here, I am still sorry for my bad english and more for my not existing french ^^

cheers,
bwergen
