Augustow region, spring here comes the very late. This is the beginning of April, the night is a frost.
At the end of March I found Sarcoscypha coccinea and now another fungus. I can not identify them.

Hello Lucja,
After a beautiful month of March we got a tail of the Winter now too.
Nice photo in beautiful natural colours, good sharpness and a fine choice of composition.
Happy Easter,
Peter

Hi Lucja,

Probably You cropped the image too heavily, because the image is pixelated a bit. Quite a pity, because the composition's pleasant.

ID: Strobilurus esculentus (Wulfen) Singer, a species growing exclusively on fallen Picea (spruce) cones, from March to May, very rarely in September. Although small, considered to be a good edible, because it's common, you can collect many fruitbodies even within a few square meters. Best for soup, as my Polish friends used to say (I never tried it yet, it isn't such a common species here). The other two species (Strobilurus stephanocystis, S. tenacellus) of the genus living in your country are growing on cones of Pinus nigra, P. silvestris and P. mugo, so you can easily differentiate them from this species, due to the substrate. Each is edible (see the Latin species name: "esculentus" = edible), but this one is the most rated gastronomically.

Best regards, László (Wladek)
