A new study investigated the relationship between several Peziza species growing near melting snow in North American, Australia, and New Zealand. Using DNA analysis, researchers found that Peziza nivalis might be a single, globally widespread species, which helps us understand more about how our biodiverse climate responds in extreme conditions.
