Description
Elf cups are known for their vibrant, cup-shaped fruiting bodies that often display striking red interiors, looking almost like small goblets sprinkled about the forest floor. These eye-catching fungi usually appear in late winter to early spring, thriving in damp, decaying wood and leaf litter. Their bright color serves as a beacon in the otherwise dull forest landscape, making them a delightful find for nature enthusiasts.
