Corvus Posted May 5, 2021 Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 Found on ground. Maybe 5 cm? In a somewhat open area in box-elder forest. Not near any upright trees. Sorry about my bad phone camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted May 5, 2021 Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 Yep, Urnula craterium. I usually find this species before the first morels fruit. But, the Urnula fruit bodies may persist in situ for weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvus Posted May 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 Thank you, @Dave W This is my first year mushroom hunting and I haven't found any morels yet, but I am having a field day learning all of these other species. Have a few more pics I got today for anyone else interested. Does anyone have info about the white flecks on the outside of the cup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troutddicted Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 Lovely photos and great ID-ing. Good luck with the morels! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 U. craterium has tiny bumps on the exterior part; just a trait typical of the species. But, the white flecks mentioned may be very small insects. Here's a photo showing the bumps and the insects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
