Yellow Fairy Cups
Calycina citrina, or ‘yellow fairy cups’ is a species of fungi that belong to the Helotiaceae family and are known for their distinct bright yellow colour. They are often found on the tops of rotting or dead wood, however the species flourishes most on deciduous wood. Their fruiting bodies are small in size, usually no bigger than 3mm and they cluster in large numbers that can even reach the thousands. Calycina citrina is Saprobic and plays an important ecological role as a decomposer. Their edibility is unknown and it has yet to be discovered if they possess any medicinal properties.
