Extract from Wikipedia article: Tarzetta cupularis is a species of apothecial fungus belonging to the family Pyronemataceae. This is a species of northern Europe with occasional records from further south in Spain and Morocco. It also occurs in North America. It appears from spring to autumn as brown to cream-coloured flask-shaped cups up to 2 cm across and 2.5 cm tall in groups in damp woodland. The related Tarzetta catinus tends to be larger with a more open cup, but the two species can only be reliably distinguished microscopically: by the shape of the spores (those of T. cupularis being narrower) and the paraphyses (those of T. cupularis lacking the distinctive lobed tips of T. catinus).
Tarzetta cupularis is a species of fungus in the family Pyronemataceae. It is a small to medium-sized, cup-shaped fungus with a yellowish-brown to reddish-brown interior and exterior. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, Tarzetta cupularis has been found growing on soil, moss, and decaying plant material in coniferous and mixed forests, typically in areas with acidic soils and moderate humidity. Fruiting bodies typically appear in late summer to early autumn.

Toothed cup fungus (Tarzetta cupularis) under big trees in West Kotlin Nature Reserve in Kronstadt. Saint Petersburg, Russia, September 2, 2018Fort "Shants", Kronshtadt, Sankt-Peterburg, Russia, 197761Observations of Tarzetta cupularis in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia reveal its presence in various habitats. The fungus was found in Sosnovka Park under small pines on rich soil, as well as under broadleaf trees in Gardens of Polytechnic Institute. It was also spotted in West Kotlin Nature Reserve in Kronstadt, growing under big trees. The sightings occurred during summer and early autumn, with records from June 22 to September 16. The fungus appears to thrive in areas with rich soil and tree cover, including both coniferous and broadleaf species. Multiple observations in Sosnovka Park suggest that it may be a common species in this region, with a preference for areas with young pines and rich soil. The sightings were recorded over two years, from 2017 to 2018.
