• Cyathus
striatus - Fluted Bird's Nest

These are amazing, and remarkably small! Check around the mulchy parts near supermarkets and you're like to come across these.

• Peziza
micropus - Pedicel Cup

This cool jelly cup pops up on mulch and other barky areas. Like other cups, it relies on raindrops splashing into its cup to spread its spores.

• Sarcoscypha
austriaca - Scarlet Elfcup

These very eye-catching cup fungi help decompose fallen twigs and sticks. Often found brightening up the damp and dark undergrowth
