PEZIZA Dill. 



1759. Peziza vesiculosa Bull. 



S.W. — Halifax 1790 (Bolton, Tab. 175). Common on rich 

 soil, dung heaps, charred ground, in potato-fields, etc. In Sep 

 '92 specimens 6 in. across were gathered on charcoal under the 

 shade of half-burnt tree root in the grounds of the late 

 J. W. Davis, Chevin Edge, near Halifax. In these fine 

 examples the cells of the paraphyses were much more swollen, 

 and the septa more constricted, than usual.

A large wax-yellow peziza referred to this species is occa- 

 sionally found in buildings of various kinds about Halifax 

 and Hebden Bridge : — on disused moulding sand in foundry ; 

 on damp, dust-clogged walls of weaving-shed, dyehouses, 

 warehouses, cellars, cellar-window areas, etc. In greenhouse, 

 Crossland Hall, Huddersfield (G. T. Porritt, and Rev. W. 

 Fowler). In Feb. '02 T. Hebden found it growing from the 

 seams of a recently lime-washed greenhouse wall at CuUing- 

 worth. The exterior is not warted as in P. vesiculosa but 

 clothed with a thin, white, adpressed tomentum.

Mid W.— Holden Wood and Gill Grange (Fl. Skipt.). 

 S.W. — On clay bank, Goitstock. Salterhebble (Fl. Hx.).

1762. Peziza linteicola Phil, and Plow. 



S.W. — Hebden Bridge, on decaying, cast-out carpet, sack- 

 ing, straw, etc., several years in succession (Fl. Hx.).

S.W. — Frizinghall ('Nat.' Aug. '81). Sewage works, Brad- 

 ford (Lees' FL). On the ground in a wood, Hebden Bridge
