Buckwheat PeteHello, I'd like to ask about this older specimen:
Can anyone help ID this Peziza please?
Spores are smooth 15-18 x 9-10µm. No guttules.
Asci only blue at very tip in Melzers.
Paraphyses slender, sparse and fragile. Simple, and septate with slightly inflated ends.
The brian Spooner key takes me to P.micropus, except these fruit bodies were very large (up to 150mm diameter)
can you explain or tell me literature on the complex Varia - repanda, cerea incl. muralis and micropus are difficult to separate and maybe the same. Where can I learn more?
Regards from Lothar (I fear I am not fully actual here ...)
here is the link to Karen Hansen's publication

thank you very much!
I always thought that it is highly arbitrary to divide the varia-complex. Very nice!

.. yes, the "old" P. varia ss. str. was defined with moliniform paraphyses. But this character, as others, seems to be highly variable and influenced by environmental conditions.
