Miss Scarlet

Not quite Miss Scarlet from Clue. We actually called it Cluedo over here!

Scarlet Elf Cup in Scotland

This is a collection of Scarlet Elf Cup mushrooms. I took this last year, at the end of January. I will probably have missed them this year as they grow in the woods further than I can walk just now! They are also edible and good with a salad, I was reading!

  2. Those are very interesting mushrooms, ones I've never seen. Glad you told me they were edible. It's nice to forage and know what you're doing. I have to stick to the supermarket but I do remember the days when we would go to our local greengrocer as a kid, and they sold plate sized field mushrooms. Never tasted anything like them since. Lovely phot Ananka and I hope your healing process is heading in the right direction.

  4. Ich habe diese Pilze vor zwei Jahren auf einer Pilzwanderung kennengelernt und auch gegessen. Ich fand sie nicht sehr schmackhaft. Aber sie sehen hübsch aus.

  9. Hi Ananka, I hope your healing quickly. We have small red mushrooms here at times, they are easy to miss. These are lovely.

  10. They are wonderful little fungi. I don’t see them often, but when I do they bring me great joy and always lead me to reflect on their value to the ecosystem.
