This species forms cup-like structures with dimensions of Script error: No such module "convert". (average Script error: No such module "convert".) and heights of Script error: No such module "convert". (average Script error: No such module "convert".).[1] Study of this fungus in the Amazon rainforest showed that on average, these cups hold 35 millitres of water, in addition to organic matter such as leaves, flowers and fruits that fall from trees;[1] this provides an ideal environment for various insect species (especially filter-feeding species like mosquitoes) to breed.[1][2]
