Here are my few finds whilst walking Basil on a sunny spring like afternoon.
Nectria coccinea on Beech (Fagus sylvatica).
Asci 8-spored, no reaction to the tips when mounted in iodine.
Spores 12-14 x 5-6. Pale brown, verruculose, with one septum and slightly constricted - mounted in H2O.

Scarlet Elfcup (Sarcoscypha austriaca). I'm only going to add micrographs if I find the Ruby Elfcup (Sarcoscypha coccinea) in Calderdale as I do not want to keep showing the same evidence over and over again.
Excellent work, we need to get over your way more and do some serious mooching. Fungalpunk Dave - www.fungalpunknature.co.uk
