context_page_description: Cookeina is a genus of cup fungi in the family Sarcoscyphaceae, members of which may be found in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Species may be found on fallen branches of angiosperms, trunks, and sometimes on fruits. The Temuans of Peninsular Malaysia are reported to use certain species from this genus as food, and also as a bait for fishing, where it is rubbed against the hook.
context_section_description: Cookeina colensoi (Berk.) Seaver (1913).
   Basionym Peziza colensoi Berk (1855).
  
  Apothecia cupulate, subsessile to stipitate, 5–19 mm in diameter when dry, receptacle surface smooth; gelatinous layer present in the inner ectal excipulum, 40–50 µm thick, cells of axes somewhat perpendicular to receptacle surface; asci suboperculate, 330–360 × 12.5–13 µm. Ascospores are subfusoid-ellipsoid, smooth-walled, contain two or three oil droplets, and have dimensions of 27–30 × 10.5–12 µm. Known from the South Pacific and South America, and Cameroon. Weinstein and Pfister characterize the distribution as sub-tropical, but more prevalent in the southern hemisphere.
  Cookeina colensoiopsis Iturr. & Pfister (2006).
  Cookeina globosa Douanla-Meli (2005).
  This species is known only from the Mbalmayo rain forest reserve in southern Cameroon.
  Cookeina indica Pfister & R. Kaushal (1984).
  
  Apothecia deeply discoid, up to 15 mm in diameter, sessile to stipitate, stalks less than 4 mm long; hymenium ochraceous-oray, receptacle concolorous with or lightly darker than the hymenium when dry, surface smooth; ectal excipulum of texture angularis, about 50–70 µm thick, with some hair-like structures made up of several cells; medullary excipulum of textura intricata, about 175 µm thick; asci 320–350 × 5–18 µm; ascospores ellipsoid to subfusoid, 3-guttulate, surface with longitudinal ridges, 27.5–35 × 10–13 µm.
  Cookeina insititia (Berk. & M.A. Curtis) Kuntze (1891).
  Apothecia deeply cupulate, 3–6 mm in diameter when dry; ectal excipulum of texture subglobulosa to textura angularis, with a gelatinous layer about 40–85 µm thick in ectal excipulum; triangular scalelike hairs arising from ectal excipulum forming several rings along apothecial margin, less than 4 mm long; medullary excipulum of textura intricata, 45–100 µm thick; hymenium about 380–430 µm; asci 400–440 × 13–17 µm; ascospores fusoid, smooth, multiguttulate, 45–53.5 × 9–13 µm. Distribution restricted to the western Pacific Basin.
  Cookeina sinensis Z. Wang (1997).
  
  Apothecia solitary, cupulate, stipitate, up to 25 mmm high and 50 mm in diameter when dry, hymenium ochraceous-orange to raw sienna, receptacle cinnamon-buff when dry; conspicuously hairy; hairs fasciculate, arising from medullary excipulum, stiff, bristle-like, up to 6–7 mm long; ectal excipulum of textura angularis, about 50 µm thick, cells thick-walled, hyaline, 7–13 × 15–25 µm; medullary excipulum of textura intricata, 230–300 µm thick; asci suboperculate, 8-spored, long cylindrical, narrow-hyphoid at base, thick-walled, J-Melzer's reagent, 280–290 × 16–7 µm; ascospores smooth-walled, subfusoid to lemon-shaped, biguttulate with droplets up to 9 µm in diameter, 25–28 × 12–12.5 µm; paraphyses moniliform, anastomosing and septate.
  Cookeina speciosa (Fr.) Dennis (1994).
  Apothecia funnel-shaped, stipitate, rarely sessile, margin covered with fine, inconspicuous hairs; hairs fasciculate, less than 3 mm long; asci 300–400 × 17–20 µm; ascospores ellipsoid, biguttulate, surface with fine longitudinal ridges, 25–29 × 13–15 µm.
   This species has more pronounced variations in color, and is thought to represent a species complex.
  Cookeina sulcipes (Berk.) Kuntze (1891).
  Basionym Peziza sulcipes Berk. (1842).
  
  Apothecia are goblet- to funnel-shaped, grow solitary to clustered on wood at altitudes less than 700 metres (2,300 ft), and have dimensions of 2–4 cm (0.8–2 in) in diameter by 3–6 cm (1–2 in) tall. The stipe is slender, 3–4 mm thick, and 1–4 cm (0.4–2 in) long. The hymenium surface is pink to buff in color, while the outer surface is less brightly colored. Ascospores have a cylindrical or ellipsoid shape, containing two large oil drops, covered with fine longitudinal wrinkles, and have dimensions of 25–33 × 14–18 µm. This species is distributed  through the lowlands of Central America, Mexico, the Caribbean, South America, Africa, and Asia.
  Cookeina tricholoma (Mont.) Kuntze (1891).
   Synonyms include Peziza tricholoma Mont., (1834), Pilocratera tricholoma (Mont.) Henn., and Trichoscypha tricholoma (Mont.) Cooke, (1889).
