Cup Fungi
The Pezizaceae (commonly referred to as cup fungi) are a family of fungi in the Ascomycota which produce mushrooms that tend to grow in the shape of a "cup". Spores are formed on the inner surface of the fruit body (mushroom). The cup shape typically serves to focus raindrops into splashing spores out of the cup. Additionally, the curvature enables wind currents to blow the spores out in a different manner than in most agarics and boletes. Cup fungi grow in peculiar shapes, frequently resembling cups or saucers. For example, the orange peel fungus (''Aleuria aurantia'') resembles a discarded orange rind. They may be vividly colored, like the scarlet cup (''Sarcoscypha coccinea''), which is often one of the first signs of spring where it grows. According to one 2008 estimate, the family contains 31 genera and 230 species. Subtaxa Pezizaceae includes the following: *'' Adelphella'' **'' Adelphella babingtonii'' *'' Amylascus'' **'' Amylascus tasmanicus'' *'' Aquapeziza'' ...

Peziza Badia
''Peziza badia'' is a species of apothecial fungus belonging to the family Pezizaceae. This is one of the more familiar of the cup fungi of Europe, appearing as irregular dark brown cups up to 8 cm in diameter, often in small groups, on soil in woodland. The species tends to be seen more frequently on sandy soils and favours bare ground, e.g. at the sides of paths. This is a frequently observed European species with scattered records from many other parts of the world. It is edible.

Mattirolomyces
The Terfeziaceae, or desert truffles, is a family of truffles ( ber, script=latn, Tirfas, ar, كمأ, Kam', ckb, دنبلان, Domalan, he, כמהת הנגב, kmehat hanegev) endemic to arid and semi-arid areas of the Mediterranean Region, North Africa, and the Middle East, where they live in ectomycorrhizal association with ''Helianthemum'' species and other ectomycorrhizal plants (including ''Cistus'', oaks, and pines). This group consists of three genera: '' Terfezia'', ''Tirmania'', and ''Mattirolomyces''. They are a few centimetres across and weigh from 30 to 300 grams (1–10 oz). Desert truffles are often used as a culinary ingredient. Family description Fruit-bodies ( ascomata) are large, more or less spherical to turbinate ( top-shaped), thick-walled, and solid. The asci are formed in marbled veins interspersed with sterile tissue. The asci are cylindrical to spherical, indehiscent (not splitting open at maturity), and sometimes stain blue in iodine.

Kalaharituber
''Kalaharituber'' is a fungal genus in the family Pezizaceae. It is a monotypic genus, whose single truffle-like species, ''Kalaharituber pfeilii'', is found in the Kalahari Desert, which spans the larger part of Botswana, the east of Namibia and the Northern Cape Province of South Africa. Taxonomy The fungus was first described scientifically in 1895 by German mycologist Paul Christoph Hennings as ''Terfezia pfeilii''. It was moved to its own genus in 2005 by James Trappe and Varda Kagan-Zur. Description Fruiting bodies can be up to 12 cm in diameter. These weigh approximately 200 grams, although larger rains (which affect weight) can cause them to weigh twice as much. These fruits grow close to the surface, which causes surface cracks on the ground above after rains. These fruiting bodies can occur as much as 40 cm away from the main hyphae. Habitat ''Kalaharituber pfeilii'' is found the Kalahari Desert, as well as in other arid regions of South Africa, Angola, ...
