Pyrenopeziza carduorum is a small discomycete fungus that grows on dead stems of thistle (Carduus) and related plants in open and semi-open habitats. It produces tiny, dark, cup-shaped fruiting bodies on dried herbaceous material. This saprotrophic species contributes to the decomposition of tough, fibrous plant stems in grasslands and woodland margins.
