Scarlet Elfcup sp.

Sarcoscypha sp.?

Description:

I found a similar looking one about a mile away: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/167... This thread suggests this would need a microscope and a fresh specimen to get a positive ID: http://www.wildaboutbritain.co.uk/forums... According to someone in the thread S. coccinea has straight microscopic hairs on the cup surface whilst S. austriaca has curly ones

Notes:

sample ce6 (no sample of substrate)
