Looks like it belongs to the order Pezizales, maybe in the genus
Peziza
, many of these are saprophytic fungi growing on rotting wood. They are shaped like cups and have no stalk.

This is
Helvella leucomelaena
with the fancy common name of White-footed Elf Cup. Photo taken by Stavros Apostolou on Mt hymettos.
