In the many years I spent as a surveyor in the timber preservation industry and certified by IWSc I came across Peziza regularly. My observations based on those mainly structural surveys and under the heading habitat would be that the fruiting bodies are invariably found close to masonry and usually on or in the vicinity of bathrooms/showers and therefore soap. Actually I was quite convinced that soap in whatever ford was a major contributor to the germination and growth of Peziza. Now retired and wooded areas on a daily basis I have seen Peziza in other habitats.

Hi. I appreciate this site tremendously even though I am not versed in chemistry or mycology. My father was a research technician at the forestry research center on Burnside rd. in Victoria BC. I learned about mushrooms from a young age and was able to identify shaggy manes immediately. My earliest encounters with them were while Sunday driving with my parents and stopping at bamberton provincial park in the early 70's. Thank you for this amazing collection of accurate information.

This is a favorite find of ours! We love to include this in cancer, infection and fatigue blends!
You may need a pry bar to get the off of the tree though - and you will have to cut it in pieces (we use hatchet and hammer) to get it in the grinder, but it is well worth the effort! A great health mushroom!

We have a lot of these at our cottage in Saskatchewan. They make a great sauce for pirogies or baby potatoes.

Nature is miraculous really. It's sad to think how many different types of medicinal plants, fruits and fungi like this are lost to us forever through man's ever expanding greed, chopping down rain forests, ploughing the plains, damming rivers and so forth.

Found this really interesting and informative! This is truly alternative medicine.
