Father Pitt believes this is some species of Sarcoscypha, but further than that he is unwilling to go (and apparently even mycologists have trouble unless you give them a microscope), and he may be wrong about the genus anyway. But it’s a remarkably bright red. It was growing on a stick in the leaf litter near the Trillium Trail in Fox Chapel.
In Bird Park, Mount Lebanon.
Trying out a new camera. Actually, it’s twelve years old, but it just arrived, and twelve years old is newer than most of old Pa Pitt’s cameras.
