jpzII Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Well I took a little walk in the woods last night just to get a feel for what things were doing. Hoping to find some early Ramps but no luck there. I am starting to see Scarlet Cups popping up though, is there any timing between them and morels? Granted it was snowing at the time, and we had a few small snow showers in the past few days so I know they don't seem to mind the cold like Morels. Either way was nice to see some fungus in the woods after a long winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWlake Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Don't know if a scarlet cup is the same as a devils urn, but I've read that when you see the mature devils urn, the morels are short to follow. Went out yesterday for a look and saw ramps, mayapples and many flowers. We are real close to morels here in Michiana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 MushroomExpert says Sarcoscypha austriaca (one type of scarlet cup) is a spring mushroom. I don't find it here in NE PA. The only one I find here is S. occidentalis, which shows up well after the morels have disappeared. Like CWlake says, there seems to be a correlation between Devil's Urns (Urnula craterium) and the coming of the morels (7-10 days before the black morels in a couple of my spots).

jpzII Posted April 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Cool, yeah I've ran into Devil's Urns while hunting Morels in the the northern part of the state, I live in Central MN and really don't see them much....now I need to keep my eyes though.

Cedric Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 In europe we say morels show up 8-10 days after sarcosphaera crassa. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Oak Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 The scarlet cups are small all winter here in Nebraska and then grow bigger about a month before the morels start. I don't think the timing is intimately tied however. Good temperature progression indicator though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpzII Posted April 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 Just checked my spot last night and the Devil's Urns are really starting to pop......with the temps looking to climb in the 60's I think it's getting close finally.

1shotwade Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 I saw a youtube clip a few days ago where they were calling devil's urn a "black Trumpet". Wade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Ha! Surprise at suppertime! Not toxic, but not tasty either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
