funghi pic ?scarlet cap

[JohnC]

Hello, saw this near Paisley at the weekend... bright colour in the (rainy) wood.. I think its a "scarlet cap" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarcoscypha_coccinea

Definately looks like scarlet elf cup to my very limited knowledge of mycology

 

[Geoff Dann]

There's two British Sarcoscypha species - S. austriaca (Scarlet Elfcup) and S. coccinea (Ruby Elfcup). It is one of those two.

We thought it was a dropped item, stood out so much against the leaves!
