Look out for Scarlet Splash this December

December's Fungus of the Month has quite a festive look about it (with some imagination!). Scarlet Spash, or Cytidia salicina, uses willow branches to support its scarlet fruiting structure. Once again, mycologist Liz Holden has written a fascinating profile for Scottish Fungi with a challenge to get out in the snow and find some new records. So, if you have a patch of old willow near you and are luck enough to find this distinctive fungus, please submit your records!
