The Dune Cup

''Peziza ammophila'' is a fungus in the cup fungus genus ''Peziza''. It grows on sand dunes and beaches. As it gets older, it comes out from the sand and splits. It grows spring through winter, and in North America. It is cup shaped. The Dutch call these Zandtulpjes, or "sand tulips."
