fruiting on road cut beneath Quercus agrifolia.

Helvella dryophilla and Peziza also emerging from the same hill side. Most of the specimens I found looked like they had already been partially eaten by some animal

flesh was lavendar in direct sunlight
no obvious scent to me but every specimen on this hill side had been eaten and within 5 minutes of it being in my office the grain moths were swarming it so it must be producing some sort of attractant the mammalian or just my nose can't detect
