Scutellinia olivascens is a species of apothecial fungus belonging to the family Pyronemataceae.
The species was described in 1876 by Mordecai Cooke as Peziza olivascens,[3] but Otto Kuntze revised the genus to Scutellinia in 1891.
[1][2] The species resembles the abundant Scutellinia umbrorum and can only be reliably identified by microscopic features.
[4] Found in Europe, S. olivascens forms clusters of orange discs up to 1.5 cm in diameter on soil or rotting wood in summer and autumn.
