RHH's photos with the keyword: cup

We found this old cup while exploring an abandoned cabin near the Needles District of Canyonlands National Park. The cup is resting on the stones of an old fireplace near the cabin.

I have not been able to identify this with certainty. I believe it is a fungus in the group Sarcosphaera, probably Sarcosphaera coronaria, but am not sure. It was found growing along Chiwaukum Creek near Leavenworth, Washington, but we have seen it many other times when hiking in the Northwest. ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2011/07/chiwaukum-c...
