Sarcoscyphaceae
The ''Sarcoscyphaceae'' are a family (biology), family of cup fungus, fungi in the order Pezizales. Members of the Sarcoscyphaceae are cosmopolitan distribution, cosmopolitan in distribution, found in both tropical and temperate regions. Genera A 2008 estimate placed 13 genera and 102 species in the family: * ''Aurophora'' Rifai 1968 * ''Cookeina'' Kuntze 1891 * ''Geodina'' Denison 1965 * ''Kompsoscypha'' Pfister 1989 * ''Microstoma (fungus)'' Bernstein 1852 * ''Nanoscypha'' Denison 1972 * ''Phillipsia'' Berk. 1881 * ''Pithya'' Fuckel 1870 * ''Pseudopithyella'' Seaver 1928 * ''Sarcoscypha'' (Fr.)

Sarcoscypha Coccinea
''Sarcoscypha coccinea'', commonly known as the scarlet elf cup, or the scarlet cup, is a species of fungus in the family Sarcoscyphaceae of the order Pezizales. The fungus, widely distributed in the Northern Hemisphere, has been found in Africa, Asia, Europe, North and South America, and Australia. The type species of the genus ''Sarcoscypha'', ''S. coccinea'' has been known by many names since its first appearance in the scientific literature in 1772. Phylogenetic analysis shows the species to be most closely related to other ''Sarcoscypha'' species that contain numerous small oil droplets in their spores, such as the North Atlantic island species ''Sarcoscypha macaronesica, S. macaronesica''. Due to similar physical appearances and sometimes overlapping distributions, ''S. coccinea'' has often been confused with ''Sarcoscypha occidentalis, S. occidentalis'', ''Sarcoscypha austriaca, S. austriaca'', and ''Sarcoscypha dudleyi, S. dudleyi''.

Cookeina
''Cookeina'' is a genus of cup fungi in the family Sarcoscyphaceae, members of which may be found in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Species may be found on fallen branches of angiosperms, trunks, and sometimes on fruits.Weinstein RN, Pfister DH, Iturriaga T. (2002). A phylogenetic study of the genus ''Cookeina''. ''Mycologia'' 94(4): 673–682. The Temuans of Peninsular Malaysia are reported to use certain species from this genus as food, and also as a bait for fishing, where it is rubbed against the hook. Description Species in the ''Cookeina'' have a deep, cup-shaped to funnel-shaped fruiting bodies, or apothecium, apothecia. The inner spore-bearing surface of the apothecium, the hymenium, is brightly colored, yellow to red, although the color will fade upon drying. The outer surface is less brightly colored. The excipulum, the tissue making up the walls of the apothecium, is thin and flexible. When hairs are present on the apothecium, they are fasciculate—mad ...
