  We have them in abundance, but most that I see are Nidula and most of those Nidula candida. It's always fun to find a new one. These caught my eye because they were very tiny and the "eggs" cream/white. Posted 9 years ago, modified 9 years ago

The Common Bird's Nest Fungus

Crucibulum laeve is probably the most common and frequently encountered bird's nest fungus in temperate North America. Three features serve to identify it successfully: its yellowish colors; the "lid" over the nest (in young specimens), covering the eggs; and the tiny cords that attach the eggs to the nest.
