Description
Elf cups and allies (Sarcoscyphaceae) is a genus of fungi named for the unique shape of some species, which with slender stems and goblet-shaped crowns look for all the world like wine glasses. The 'allies' are the other species in the genus that don't conform to this cup shape. Sarcoscyphaceae is a widespread genus of fungi, growing almost exclusively on dead wood.
