Field Notes

Description:

Species in the Cookeina have a deep, cup-shaped to funnel-shaped fruiting bodies, or apothecia. The inner spore-bearing surface of the apothecium, the hymenium, is brightly colored, yellow to red, although the color will fade upon drying.

I hadn't seen one curled up in that way before. Wondered if this was a different species, or just an aged version of the cup form.

Habitat:

Seen at La Selva Biological Research Center.

Notes:

Possibly Cookeina sulcipes. Wine Glass Fungi in a different form.
