Peziza domiciliana, commonly known as the domicile cup fungus, is a species of fungus in the genus Peziza, family Pezizaceae. Described by English mycologist Mordecai Cubitt Cooke, the fungus grows on rotten wood, drywall/plasterboard, and plaster in homes, damp cellars, and basements. It is known from Asia, Europe, North America, and Antarctica.

Description

The

buff, tan, or brownish. The whitish stem does not typically become longer than 1 cm (0.4 in).[2]

The asci (the spore-bearing cells) are cylindrical or roughly so, reaching dimensions of 225–250 μm long by 15 μm wide. The spores are ellipsoid, hyaline (translucent) when young,[2] often contain two small oil droplets, and measure 11–15 by 6–10 μm.[7] The paraphyses are slender, contain septa, and are slightly enlarged above.[2] The species is inedible.[8]

Peziza badia is darker brown, grows on the ground or well-decayed wood, and has longer spores measuring 15–19 by 7–10 μm.[9] Other Peziza species have been reported to grow indoors, including P. varia and P. petersii.[7]

Habitat and distribution

Peziza domiciliana
saprotrophic
Edibility is unknown

The fruit bodies of Peziza domiciliana grow singly, in groups, or in clusters on plaster, sand, gravel and coal-dust in cellars, caves, and greenhouses. The species is known from Europe, North America,

alveolitis. A search of her home, which had recently been flooded as a result of heavy rains, revealed the mushroom in her basement, and air sampling confirmed the presence of P. domiciliana spores.[14]
