Is Burgundy Cup edible?

While Sarcoscypha austriaca is generally considered edible, it is not particularly flavorful and can be tough. Great caution must be exercised to avoid confusion with other, potentially toxic, cup fungi. Thorough cooking is recommended. Some individuals may experience gastrointestinal upset. Therefore, it is absolutely critical to positively identify this mushroom and to consume it in small quantities initially to assess individual tolerance. WARNING: Never consume any wild mushroom unless you are 100% certain of its identification. When in doubt, throw it out!
