Scarlet Elf Cups (Sarcoscypha coccinea) and Ruby Elf Cups (Sarcoscypha austriaca) (indistinguishable without microscopy) are one of the few Spring mushrooms that are also edible. They have a mild taste (when overcooked, can become flavourless). They can be gently pan-fried in a little oil/ butter or used in a stew, and they make a nice addition to pasta and rice dishes, or fried eggs.

If you're out looking for them, Elf Cups enjoy wet, muddy places (often close to a stream), and they grow on fallen twigs, rotting wood, under dead leaves but can be easily spotted because of their bright red color.

I love being on the mycology subreddit, because there are precisely two types of photo posts:

Dice google che dovrebbe trattarsi di una sarcoscypha coccinea, o coppa scarlatta degli elfi.

Io credevo che qualcuno avesse buttato una pallina di plastica nel bosco.

Sarcoscypha, probably Sarcoscypha coccinea, but possibly S. dudleyi, on a dead branch in Boone County, Iowa. These are a type of Ascomycete fungi often called scarlet elf cups, for their little cuplike shape and bright red color. They’re a bright sight in late winter and early spring!

Sarcoscypha coccinea, or scarlet cup, is a type of fungus, widely distributed in the Northern Hemisphere, has been found in Africa, Asia, Europe, North and South America, and Australia. The saprobic fungus grows on decaying sticks and branches in damp spots on forest floors, generally buried under leaf litter or in the soil. The cup-shaped fruit bodies are usually produced during the cooler months of winter and early spring. The brilliant red interior of the cups—from which both the common and scientific names are derived—contrasts with the lighter-colored exterior. The edibility of the fruit bodies is not clearly established, but its small size, tough texture and insubstantial fruitings would dissuade most people from collecting for the table. The fungus has been used medicinally by the Oneida Native Americans, and also as a colorful component of table decorations in England. (X)
