      Thanks, Ferdy. I had to rush to get these as the rain was starting to get heavier (and I don't have a proper rainshield for my camera). My first time finding this particular species, so I was very happy! Sad that the "eggs" had already "hatched" though! Posted 4 years ago

The Fluted bird's nest

"Cyathus striatus" is a common saprobic bird's nest fungus with a widespread distribution throughout temperate regions of the world. This fungus resembles a miniature bird's nest with numerous tiny "eggs"; the eggs, or "peridioles", are actually lens-shaped bodies that contain spores.
