Scarlet Elf Cup!
Scarlet Elf Cup (Sarcoscypha austriaca) is fairly widespread but uncommon in Britain and Ireland. It can be seen from January to April. Favouring areas with high rainfall it can be seen on decaying sticks and branches – especially in damp areas of the woodland floor – and on ditch sides and stream banks.
Scarlet Elf Cups have many other common names, which include, the scarlet elf cap, red cup, scarlet cup, moss cups and fairies’ baths. With that in mind, in European folklore, it was said that the wood elves drank morning dew from the cups or where the fairies bathe.
