Description

This pic was taken yesterday at Otterford Lakes on the Blackdown Hills in Somerset, UK. I am not sure what type but I am sure someone can tell me. (Andrea?} The nearest in my book is Sarcoscypha Austriaca but I have a doubt! I dedicate this fungi to another fun guy who has just become a RR Co-ordinator and I wish him well. (Clive akka cfulton). This image is much better in zoom and the light is natural.

This is a very beautiful image - the colours! Thank you for the dedication! I am a shroom too - used to being kept in the dark and fed waste too! Clive

Fungi Five has a certain ring to it. I've been reading through a 2007 autobiography of Eric Clapton. As many groups as he's been in, he might like this for the name of his next band:)
