Re : Peziza blueing
I am not sure why your photo has such a red tone. Which reagents did you apply, Melzer or Lugol? It is necessary to see the yellow colour of iodine in order to say something. For instance if you add KOH, the reaction logically disappears.

Re : Peziza blueing
The phenomenon exists that higher concentrations of Lugol suppress the blue reaction. this is some kind of hemiamyloid, which is in fact a change to a dirty rid-brown. I am not sure if this is the case here. You can easily test this by adding more Lugol so that the ascoplasm gets distinctly stained.
You can also test KOH-pretreatment. After washing with water you can repeat the test, the effect should then be absent.
