Cyathus stercoreus
This fungus is very similar to Cyathus olla (http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/194...), with which it may be confused by the appearance.
Grows on livestock droppings, mainly.
In Traditional Chinese medicine, a decoction of this fungus is used to help relieve the symptoms of gastralgia, or stomach ache
