Did you sniff it? It looks very like Disciotis venosa.

well as usual it will be interesting to see what the experts say, the incurved margin and wrinkled interior does make me think of P.vesiculosa, but the white grainy exterior makes me think of P.repanda, so it's a microscope job, sorry i can't be more help.

Cheers J.P.

Very helpful actually JP - I agree with you !

I can see why Disciotis was suggested ! But the very scurfy exterior of the apothecium is wrong for that species.

It isn't however P. vesiculosa (hymenium is not 'blistered' !)

So, an unknown - microscopy required !

I have several scurfy collections of Disciotis (and a photograph) though it is an atypical form. (It doesn't really look right though.)
