Can you identify this unique fungi?🍄

If you’re walking along a woodland path see one of these you might think you’ve come across a piece of discarded plastic, but have a closer look and you’ll discover the wonderful Scarlet Elf Cup.

🍄 The scarlet elf cup gets it's unique name from tales in ancient folklore where elves are said to have drunk the early morning dew from deep red cups.

🍄 As with many fungi, the part we see is only the fruiting body and the main body of the fungus is actually beneath the surface, with an extensive network of tiny filaments called hyphae.

🍄 This fungi is saprophytic, meaning it feeds on decaying wood, making it an important part of the ecosystem, releasing nutrients from decaying matter back into the environment.

Keep an eye out when exploring the Estate and nature reserve during your stay and see if you can spot these unique fungi.
