The ( violet ) crown cupling ( Sarcosphaera coronaria ) is a mushroom from the Pezizaceae family. The genus Sarcosphaera is monotypical with the crown cup as the only species.
features
The Kronenbecherling first forms a hollow sphere semi-underground and then breaks open at the top in a crown-shaped manner and forms a deep, bowl-shaped fruiting body , which is usually spread out flat with age. The fruiting body is 3 to 10 centimeters in size with a purple, purple-brown to colorless hymenium on the inside. The outside is white. The consistency is tough and brittle. The spores are smooth, hyaline, with 2 drops of oil and 13.5 to 15 × 7 to 8 microns in size. The asci are cylindrical and measure 280 to 330 × 10 to 12 micrometers in size. The ascus tip turns purple in Lugol . The paraphyses are thread-like and partly forked.
Occurrence
The Kronenbecherling occurs in coniferous forests under pines and spruces , but also in deciduous forests on calcareous soils. According to Gerhardt it is not uncommon, but it is missing in many places.
Toxicity
The crown cup is particularly poisonous when raw. Some people consume it without harm after boiling and throwing away the cooking water.
