Scarlet Elf Cup

Scarlet Elf Cup

Earlier today we were made aware of a not-so-common fungus that has been found on small part of our allotment. The Scarlet Elf Cup (Sarcoscypha) is a very small, cup shaped fungus with a bright red inner, it's found on dead wood in damp areas on north facing slopes so I'll let you regulars guess exactly where....

We have offered to cordon off this area and return the nearby area to its former state so that the delicate fungus can be enjoyed by all with out being disturbed by our activities.

We are devoted to working closely with the Longleat Estate and other forest users to ensure that conflict is avoided and the area can be enjoyed by all, so please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any concerns about our activities or the area on which we operate .
