Basionym Peziza eriniae M.E. Sm., N. Amer. Fungi, 9 (4): 3 (2014).

Diagnosis Differs from all other species of Peziza due to a combination of morphological features that include fully enclosed and hypogeous ascomata without any obvious openings, lactiferous hyphae that produce yellowish latex, a yellow-orange spongy gleba composed of small, irregular folds of tissue creating a labyrinthine appearance, immature asci that are strongly dextrinoid but upon maturity are more-or-less amyloid over the ascus apex, and finely ornamented ascospores that are biserately to irregularly arranged within the asci.

Type FLAS 58918 - holotypus

MycoBank 835931
