Peziza arvernensis, commonly known as the boring brown cup fungus or fairy tub,[2] is a species of apothecial fungus belonging to the family Pezizaceae. This fungus appears as brown cups, often in small groups, on soil in broad-leaved woodland, especially with beech. The ascocarps can grow quite large, up to 10 cm (3+7⁄8 in) across. This species is widespread in Europe with a few records from North and South America. The exterior of the fruit bodies is pale tan, while the interior is brown.[1] Peziza vesiculosa and P. violacea are similar, young specimens of the latter having a violet hue.[1]
