Details<\/strong>
A bright red cup fungus commonly found throughout the UK in wetland wood habitat. Looks macroscopiocally simlar to Ruby elf cup fungus (rare), so we had these looked at by Aileen \u2013 a mycologyst from the University of Birmingham \u2013 to verify their correct ID. She confirmed they were Scarlet Elf Cup NOT Ruby Elf Cup on 7th March 2021 and was very helpful even allowing us to see the process of identification via zoom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
