A survey of two Danish calcareous woodlands has resulted in the discovery of three new morphologically defined species of Pezizales: Peziza exogelatinosa sp. nov., Peziza retrocurvata sp. nov. and Marcelleina tuberculispora sp. nov.; Scabropezia scabrosa is described and reported as new to Europe. The combination Peziza polaripapulata comb. nov. is proposed and a detailed description of this taxon is given. A lectotype is designated for Peziza subcitrina and this binomial is discussed in relation to Peziza buxea. Peziza polaripapulata and P. subcitrina are new to the Nordic countries. Diagnoses and re‐descriptions are based on fresh material. Anatomical features based on ultra‐thin sections and SEM of the spores are presented, as well as ecological data on each of the species.
