The fungus shown in this photograph is the Scarlet Elf Cup (Sarcoscypha coccinea) – though not poisonous, it is considered inedible.  It can be spotted in several places throughout the common at this time.

We are so lucky to have this woodland on our doorstep – please help look after it and take any litter home.
