Caloscypha

Caloscypha is a fascinating group primarily known for their vibrant orange or yellow cup-like structures that blanket the forest floor in early spring. They often appear after snowmelt, making them one of the earliest signs of the fungal world waking up. Some species in this group exhibit an intriguing blue-green color change when bruised or aging, adding to their unique charm. These fungi typically thrive in temperate regions, favoring moist, wooded habitats.
