Basionym Peziza carbonaria Alb. & Schwein., Consp. Fung. Lusat. sup.: 314 (1805).
Diagnosis P. stipitata mediocris ex ochreo rufescens , cupula ventricosa , margine farinoso crenato.
Margine congruit cum antecedente : scd stipite, colore, reliquisque characteribus ad unum fere omnibus satis superque distat. Statura variabilis : cupulae diameter a 3 ad 6 lineas et paullo ultra ludit. Stipes constans, mox brevis, mox modicus , cupulae latitudinem aequans vel aliquantum superans, tenuis, saepe subarcuatus, concolor vel paullo dilutior. Cupula primo subgloboso-campanulata, sursum subconnivens, intus vividius picta fere miniata ; deiu patentior et unicolor : extus, margine excepto albido - farinaceo (distincte et aequaliter crenato) laevis : ceterum ob substantiam tenuem fragilem (carnoso - membranaceam subpellucidam) haud raro varie incisa. Occupat satis frequens loca adusta sylvatica, carbonibus vetustioribus innata (v. c. Quizdorf ; verlornes Wasser; Trânke; Polsbruch ingens, uncialis etc.). Autumno, vere.
