Just stumbled upon this cozy cluster of mushrooms here in Pretoria, each one nestling against the next like nature’s own little community. They create a charming patchwork on the forest floor, bringing life to the underbrush.

Scarlet Elf Cups (Sarcoscypha coccinea) and Ruby Elf Cups (Sarcoscypha austriaca) (indistinguishable without microscopy) are one of the few Spring mushrooms that are also edible. They have a mild taste (when overcooked, can become flavourless). They can be gently pan-fried in a little oil/ butter or used in a stew, and they make a nice addition to pasta and rice dishes, or fried eggs.
If you're out looking for them, Elf Cups enjoy wet, muddy places (often close to a stream), and they grow on fallen twigs, rotting wood, under dead leaves but can be easily spotted because of their bright red color.

Check out this lion’s mane mushroom snug against an old log, a delightful find for a fungi enthusiast. Its shaggy, white appearance is just as majestic as the creature it’s named after.
