Scarlet Elfcap

Good heavens! Never seen anything like that before! What a lovely colour, though.

That is Fab Fungi..

Incredible! Lol I googled pink toadstool but it just came up with all sorts of pink tat.

I would email that to an ID site, it's a very good pic.

Think I just ID'd it!!

Ha ha, where did you go, I ended up in pink kiddie's lamps from Argos....

Hahaha! I used the A-Z of British fungi, after posing a few different questions!

That's an endangered rare fungi Lulu...Just found my book.

Oh cool.....there's lots and lots of them in our nearest wood...thanks for that info..

Best go and update the name of the one I told sticki I would make a Risotto from for her...TOXIC :/

Argghh, not a good idea! I stick to eating giant puffballs only!!

Good to see its ID - and what an apt and delightful name!

Better name than it's Latin one!

You don't think Sarcosphaera would catch on as a girl's name? ;)

Lol 7..

That's so different to the usual grey/beige fungi ... really pretty ... :o)

She'd be called sarco for short!! or Sphaera!

Sphaera isn't bad but sarco sounds a reference to character lol.

It does indeed but Sphaera sound like Sarah after a few too many!!

Lol! It does...

love it and the colour ;o))

Wow they are absolutly stunning , what type of wood are they in Lulu eg. conifer/ mixed trees /

These seem to grow up through moss on conifer debris. Saw masses more today. Might blog it whilst hubby watches the England game!!

Interesting Lulu I shall be on the look out for it !

Good luck in finding some. So bright, you can't really miss them!

Thats a first for me never seen them before

Me neither. At the first moment I thought these are those "living stones" as they are called in my language, kind of succulents.
