Cookeina tricholoma photographed in Pastaza, Ecuador. This beautiful ascomycete grows on wood in tropical areas - in the USA it only grows in far southern Florida. It was described as Peziza tricholoma from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 1834 and moved into Cookeina in 1891. https://m.primal.net/Nrn t.jpg
