from

Mark Jpy

Sarcoscypha austriaca, Scarlet Elfcup I found these on rotting fallen logs & thick branches (of Willow sp. I think) in moss.

Under the microscope the cup surface hairs were very colied (ruling out Ruby Elfcup, Sarcoscypha coccinea) & also the spores were too wide for Ruby Elf Cup).
