Stalked Scarlet Cup | 10% to shy-fox
Another type of mushroom is Stalked Scarlet Cup that I took a little while ago. It is commonly found singly or in clusters on fallen twigs of hardwoods on the forest floor. It also appears to be growing out of the ground, but further inspection will uncover a buried twig.
I found this mushroom on decaying wood, the color itself has attracted me to play a few click before heading back home. Most mushrooms also cultivated for medicinal properties to cure chronic bronchitis, coronary heart disease and cancer which is way, many people are believed that mushroom can be good for health but they can also lead us to serious illness.
Then, I came with a conclusion that may take your concern is, be careful when you decide to pick mushroom in the wild, it is better get to know the characteristic of mushroom. Its cap is cup-shaped or saucer-shaped and color surface of the cup is striking bright orange and smooth. When young, the cup is curled inwards and has wavy, scalloped edges.
