'The Netherlands-Zaandam

Fresh specimen of the fungus Scarlet elfcup (Sarcoscypha austriaca - Krulhaarkelkzwam), popping up in the Zaandam boranical garden during a modest cold snap. This species is found growing on fallen pieces of dead hardwood among mosses and leaf litter in damp habitats in winter and early spring. Hard to distinguish from Sarcoscypha coccinea (Rode kelkzwam), but specimen on this spot are recently examined microscopic and thus correctly identified. © Tom Kisjes’

          Party pooper. There is a place for that kind of humor and anyone who thinks otherwise is old beyond their years and should learn to love or at least like life again.

          For the record, this is a 42 year old saying this. I refuse to be “mature” when I don’t have to be.
