Nice find...

[tommer9]

Was working for Timber Cutter Dartmoor on tuesday on a clearance, and came across this little beauty...I think its a scarlet elf cup, and its preferred habitat is mossy dead hardwood, here on blackthorn twig.

I have been working all week on blackthorn but have not found any of them just thorns in my fingers:001_smile:

[David Humphries]

Certainly a nice find Tom

Just did a wee read-up on it; likes damp shady woodland. Oh bugger, we just clearfelled it!

It was a real treat to find it....I had seen pics in the fungi book and thought 'wow!' but never expected to actually find an example of one.

 

Its about 2.5" across Stevie.
