NS3878 : Hare's Ear Fungus (Otidea onotica)
taken 15 years ago, near to Renton, West Dunbartonshire, Scotland
Hare's Ear Fungus (Otidea onotica)
This specimen was growing among mosses on an earthbank that flanks the upper end of a footpath through the woods. This location is usually in shade, but here the low winter sun is briefly shining through the translucent flesh of the fungus. Its irregular cup is 4-5 cm wide, is smoother on the inside than on the outside, and is attached to the soil by a short stalk.
This is an uncommon species, which occurs singly or in groups, growing on soil in woods.
