Summary 2
The Pezizaceae (commonly referred to as cup fungi) are a family of fungi in the Ascomycota which produce mushrooms that tends to grow in the shape of a "cup".

Description 3
The family of Pezizaceae, well represented in this area, has fleshy to brittle fruit bodies, cup- to disc-shaped with the spores produced on the upper surface of the disc. Although basically sessile they sometimes have a short stipe or pseudostipe. Field characteristics are variable and fruit bodies are so similar in size, shape and color that final identification must be made with the microscope.
