Apothecary, in pl. apotecium (lat. apothecia) - type of fruiting in the bag. Also used is the Polish name of the bowl. The apothecary has the appearance of a more or less concave bowl with fleshy walls and is made up of two types of horn:

In the genus layer, bags (ascus) are formed with spores. Between them are the sub-paraphyses.

The inner layer is often distinguished by the color and structure of the surface from the outer layer, eg orange (Aleuria aurantia) is orange and smooth, while the outer layer is whitish and velvety. When spores ripen in some species, the bowl gradually decomposes, so that in the final stage it takes the form of a plate or even rolls over to the other side so that the bags are on the convex side of the bowl. Bowls can grow directly on the ground, such as the scarlet cherry (Sarcoscypha coccinea), or on various stem lengths, such as the cyphella digitalis or Helvella macropus. In some mushroom species the bowls are cut to one side at different depths, sometimes up to the base. For example, on the Otidea onotica, the cut-off edges of the bowl wrap inward, resulting in a resemblance to the shape of the ear.

There are usually two parts in apotecs:
