Extract from Wikipedia article: 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.
Peziza badia is a species of cup fungus that grows on soil, decaying wood, and other organic matter. In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, it typically fruits from July to October, often in moist, shaded areas with rich soil. In north-western Russia, it has been found in various habitats, including forests, meadows, and along roadsides, with a preference for acidic soils and association with coniferous trees. The fungus produces small to medium-sized, brownish-red cups with a wavy or wrinkled margin, reaching 2-6 cm in diameter.
