Perton, a mid-February visit, a lone scarlet elf cup fungus growing at the edge of the woodland by the footpath by the Pear and Partridge pub.
Another visit ten days later (last picture in the set). The site was now strewn with logs and twigs from a tree brought down by the winter’s storms. Under this detritus, the lone elf cup now looks like three – more likely broken in pieces by a branch falling on in.
