Extract from Wikipedia article: Sarcoscypha austriaca is a saprobic fungus in the Sarcoscyphaceae family in the Pezizales order of Ascomycota. It is commonly known as the scarlet elfcup, pézize écarlate and scharlachroter kelchbecherling. The species name means "from Austria".
Sarcoscypha austriaca is a species of cup fungus that grows on the ground in deciduous and mixed forests. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, it typically fruits from May to July, often in association with birch, aspen, and alder trees. The fungus has a bright red to orange-red cup-shaped cap, 2-6 cm in diameter, with a white to pale yellow interior and white stem. It is considered a rare species in the region, but can be found in moist, shaded areas with rich soil.
