The article rotates between using "fruiting body" and "apothecium". This is somewhat confusing to the general reader; it would be better to stick with one or the other (with one in parentheses at first mention).
"later opposed in publications by Heald and Wolf (1910) and Seaver (1928, 1942)" - it would help to explain who these writers are and/or why their opinion is important.
These are just other mycologists with their own opinions of how things should be categorized. I've added "later studies of the fungus" to help clarify the significance of their publications.

Under "Microscopic characteristics", it is mentioned that "rather than tapering gradually like other members of the
Pezizales order". I believe this is the first mention of the
Pezizales order, so it is confusing. How does this fit in with the other classifications?
The Pezizales are a larger grouping of fungus to which this species belong; I've added a sentence to the lede to establish this (this is also in the taxobox).

The article says that in Japan its usual habitat is dead oak trees. What about in Texas? Is there any communality between the two locations where it is found?
