Such green loveliness.

'The Netherlands-Zaandam

Fresh specimen of the fungus Scarlet elfcup (Sarcoscypha austriaca - Krulhaarkelkzwam), popping up in the Zaandam boranical garden during a modest cold snap. This species is found growing on fallen pieces of dead hardwood among mosses and leaf litter in damp habitats in winter and early spring. Hard to distinguish from Sarcoscypha coccinea (Rode kelkzwam), but specimen on this spot are recently examined microscopic and thus correctly identified. © Tom Kisjes'

I found this little fella (as well as a number of his friends) outside. It's cold and wet, so I brought them in where they can get warm and dry out. Remember folks, if you're cold they're cold.

Cubensis grow naturally where I live (brazilian countryside). Those are the ones that showed themselves to me today

Well. That’s lunch sorted

I’m late

And it’s getting bigger by the minute

The mushrooms shall march upon us

They’re cooking with gas

It’s all action at this end

Massive, I tell you

For context:

These were found in the Mt. Hood wilderness, about 50-100ft from a river, just next to a tree with some moss. Most of them were buried under the ground, but a few of them were poking out, which is how they caught my eye.

We have a number of large piles of rotted wood chips on our land from about five years old when we had to clear a few trees. They produced quite a few two years ago, then nothing last year with the dry fall in our area. We're happy to see them again.

No banana on hand so used apple for scale. Vancouver Island

Banana for scale. I was a little late to the party as it looks like something munched on it.

Found beside our raised garden bed on Vancouver Island. Not sure species, any guesses from the experts out there?

This is my first photo posted on Lemmy so excuse the amateur effort.
