features

Young and almost completely closed fruiting bodies of the torn tulip cup

Macroscopic features

The torn tulip cup forms long-stemmed, 5–20 mm wide fruiting bodies , which are initially spherical and have only one opening at the tip. Later they tear open in a star shape and reveal the conspicuous red inside with the fruit layer . The pale orange to pale yellow outside looks like powdered with white flour. The stem is extended like a root.

Microscopic features

The cylindrical tubes reach a size of 200–275 × 20–23 micrometers and usually contain 8 spores each. These are narrow-elliptical, colorless to pale yellow and smooth-walled. They measure 25–45 × 10–14 µm and contain conspicuous spherical granules. The paraphyses are branched several times.

ecology

The torn tulip cup grows on hardwood branches buried in the ground in climatically favorable riparian forests on loamy soils and also on loess. It often grows in tufts or in small groups. It fructifies in late winter and spring, sometimes as early as late autumn.

distribution

The torn tulip cup is mainly known from Scandinavia but also from North America and Japan. Kanouse also lists Russia and Great Britain as localities. It occurs in Germany in Thuringia and in western Saxony and is very rare in the rest of the area. In Austria finds from Lower Austria, Burgenland and Carinthia are reported.

Systematics

The torn tulip cup was described by Elias Magnus Fries as Peziza protracta in 1851 . Bessie Bernice Kanouse then placed it in the genus Microstoma in 1948 .
