A little more sure that this shows all the features of S coccinea. The rounded spores and the straight hairs. It was found in an area of mixed fallen/felled branches and brash in a local wood. There were no salix nearby but a mixture of other deciduous and conifer trees. The fruit body was rather badly eaten so there was little of the cup edge left.Mal

Re : Sarcoscypha coccinea
Yes, it is obviously S. coccinea. Was it this one that became rare in England?

Re : Sarcoscypha coccinea
Zotto Thanks.
Yes it was the only one in the Phillips book read by the majority of amature mycologists in the 1980/90s and so almost all finds in that era were designated as S coccinea. On the national records database they have a ratio of 340 : 1360 with almost all the S austriaca post 1980 and a lot of the S coccinea probably wrongly assigned.
