Black Tulip
Urnula craterium
This dark-colored cup fungus grows in small clumps on hardwood, starting out nearly closed and tender enough to be eaten, and maturing into a more opened cup, becoming too tough to be of much use
This species produces a substance that kills other fungi, so might have potential as an antifungal. It is also said to have antibacterial properties, and is edible when young and tender.
