Peziza coccinea Hist 104

Scarlet Peziza a singular young variety.

Peziza tuba

This Beautiful & new Peziza I gathered
from a  log of putrid wood in the deep and dismal
Clough at Ant-holes in Northowrome [Northowram] near Halifax,
the log lay close close to the waters edge about forty yards
below the Great Petrifying spring.

The base of the tube, or rather stem, for it is
not hollow, seemed to adhere to the surface of the
wood by a few short downy radicles, the cavity or
cup was of the most glowing Carmine colour and
very beautiful, in drying it retained something of
its figure and colour, but not one tenth part of its
quantity.
