Peziza sp.
Unknown species of Cup Fungi spotted near Hossawa Fall in Tokyo Prefecture, Japan. This fungus was growing on the trail floor, presumably on decomposing leaves and/or sticks.
Most fungi in the genus peziza is found in Europe and the Americas, though there are still high possibilities of it being found in Japan.
It is for sure some sort Peziza sp.

Saturniidae27, they are so fascinating to watch. I will look for your posting to see how the life cycle plays out.
Nice spotting Sargon, i'm recording the life cycle of one similar in my yard.
