Macroscopic features

The almost always sessile, rarely weakly stalked fruiting bodies have a diameter of 1–10 cm and a height of 2–4 cm. They are initially cup-shaped or bowl-shaped, later flattened and bent wavy on the slightly cracked edge. The inside is bright yellow-red to red-orange, the outside is whitish and covered with small, velvety shimmering scales. The meat is thin, brittle and pale, the taste and smell are inconspicuous.

Microscopic features

The tubes are cylindrical, 185-220 micrometers long and measure 10-13 micrometers in diameter. The sterile cell threads, which are also cylindrical and thickened at the tip, show embedded orange-red granules. The elliptical, translucent and single-row spores that mature in the tubes are 17–24 × 9–11 µm in size. They are each filled with 2 drops and have a roughly net-like pattern on the outside.

Species delimitation

The similar vermilion goblet cup ( Sarcoscypha coccinea ) is a strong red and only appears on dead wood in winter to late winter. The Mennin red shorthair bristle ( Melastiza chateri ) can be distinguished by its brown border.

ecology

The common orange mug grows gregariously from late summer to late autumn on bare, moist soil or in low grass, on roadsides, embankments or on fallow land, especially on loamy ground. Fruit bodies are mainly formed when the weather is continuously wet.

distribution

The species is common, widespread, and can be found in large parts of Europe, including North America and Asia.

meaning

The common orange mug is usually described as inedible, occasionally also as edible and moderately good.

Systematics

The common orange cup was first described in 1800 by Christian Hendrik Persoon as Peziza aurantia . In 1870, Karl Wilhelm Gottlieb Leopold Fuckel established the genus Aleuria based on the species , Aleuria aurantia is the type species of the genus. At the beginning of the 20th century, slightly stalked types of the species were separated from the nominate form by some authors as a separate variety or form stipitata , but the taxa are discarded today.
