An exciting first-time find for me on Friday--a scarlet elf cup, one of several Sarcoscypha species. They are edible, but this one was alone, and also the first one I've ever seen, so I left it to continue spreading spores. If I'm lucky, maybe I will find a few more somewhere as winter is wrapping up. #nature #fungi #mushroom #mushrooms #mushtodon #foraging
@polytropicprodigal looks like a discarded grapefruit rind! 😅
It is a relative of orange-peel fungus XD
@polytropicprodigal came across a flush of these magical beauties a few days ago. It's always exciting to see the reds against the floor ✨
They're gorgeous! I hope I find more in seasons to come.
