#WildWebsWednesday Will just leave this surprised beauty here. Nothing better than a winter walk through the woods with bright jewels on the woodland floor. #Lancashire #ScarletElfCup #woodlandtrust

Nature's hidden treasures 🍄✨

Stumbled upon these stunning Scarlet Elf Cups (Sarcoscypha coccinea) while out exploring.

The bright red color pops beautifully against the green moss.

#ScarletElfCup @rspbengland.bsky.social #RSPBTitchwellMarsh today. Miniature spots of vivid colour by the side of the path.

A photo of the Scarlet Elf Cup fungi in dappled sunshine, in some leaf litter with ivy leaves and twigs.

I've been lucky enough to see lots of Scarlet Elf Cups on my walks recently and they've been dainty little things. Yesterday I found one which was so large that I think it could be used by the elves as a bath tub!

Another #funguary2025 piece - I'll do a roundup once they're all done, but really like how this came out! Tried to imitate some gibson girl -esque energy...

Day 27 (posting early), the scarlet elfcup! 🍄

The #scarletelfcup mushroom looks like mini red solo cups, lol. Have fun twisting it into an animal!

Positively festive. #ScarletElfCup

Got rather excited today, caught my first sighting of Scarlet elfcup, Sarcoscypha austriaca. One of a few fungi I’ve wanted to see for a while. #ScarletElfcup #Fungi #Mycology

This is what happens when you blow on Scarlet Elfcup… they spore off 🍄📷 #ScarletElfcup #SloMo #FungiFriends

Thanks for sharing. These vibrant fungi are known for their stunning red cups which really do stand out against the winter landscape. #NatureLovers #WinterBeauty #ScarletElfCup #WoodlandWonders #BrightSpots #NaturePhotography #WildlifeSpotting #UKWildlife #WinterWonders #UKNature #Oxfordshire

#ScarletElfCup season! ♥️ So many showing themselves noey, helped by their intense colour hiding amongst the usually green moss, much easier in frosty conditions! #FungiFriends #vitaminN #mushrooms #Lancashire

So, so happy! Found Scarlet Elf Cup (Sarcoscypha austriaca) at last! In the willow carr at Tuddenham Heath. Saw a slim sliver of bright red in leaf litter & thought - blimmin' gun cartridges get everywhere!
The sunset seemed a celebration.
