About
Wynnella silvicola is a species of fungus in the family Helvellaceae, order Pezizales. It was described by Günther Beck von Mannagetta und Lerchenau in 1884. The fungus forms distinctive upright fruit bodies 5–10 centimetres high, with a deep blood-red to purple-brown spore-bearing surface contrasting with a smooth outer surface that is reddish brown above and pale yellow at the base. It grows in coniferous and occasionally oak woodlands on calcareous soils across Europe and North America, with only a single confirmed record in Britain from an early 20th-century collection at Roslin, Scotland.
