Cup fungi (Pezizaceae)

Cup fungi

Also known as: red brown cup, violet cup fungus, bay cup, brown black cup, domestic cup fungus, barnyard cup, blistered cup, smooth fairy cup, violet crowncup

The cup fungi is well-named, since the raised edges and scooped shape look exactly like a cup. The design serves a good reason: these fungi keep their spores on the inside of the cup. Therefore, consider adding a comma after 'then'.
