This is an interesting fungus which is located systematically 
between the Discomycetes and T'uberaceae. When mature, the 
round or irregular waxy ball opens very much like a Peziza with 
an inrolled margin. The spores, however, are not exposed by this 
but are still covered by an inner layer of tissue. As a result, the 
mature specimen has the appearance of a cup fungus with an outer 
and inner layer of sterile tissue between which is located the unex- 
posed hymenial layer. This species is yellow in color and often 
opens at the side or irregularly instead of at the top. 
Previously collected in Ceylon.
