Peziza succosella is a species of cup fungus that grows on soil, often in association with mosses and other vegetation. In St. Petersburg and the surrounding Leningrad Oblast, it typically fruits in late summer to early fall, particularly in moist, wooded areas and along forest edges. In north-western Russia, P. succosella has been found in similar habitats, including coniferous and mixed forests, as well as in tundra and subarctic regions, where it may grow in association with sphagnum mosses and other acidic vegetation. The fungus is relatively small, with cup-shaped to saucer-shaped fruiting bodies that are typically 1-4 cm in diameter, and have a yellowish-brown to reddish-brown exterior and a pale interior.
