Devil's Urn, Otherwise known as Urnula craterium

Clearly, back in the day when fungi were named, their wierd and wonderful forms were attributed to magic, or the work of the devil!
This was a good find. Had to go a bit off-piste in Burleigh Woods.  But what a reward tramping through the brambles. This is a monster fungus.  About 10 cm across and a really deep cup.  It's brown and a bit scraggy on the outside. On the inside, which is spore producing, it's black and smooth.

Not the prettiest, but pretty dramatic. And another fabulous Latinised descriptive name!!
