#FungiFriday: the rain has caused a proliferation of bird's nest fungi (family Nidulariaceae) in the garden! Raindrops splashing into the cups disperses the lentil-shaped packets of spores. Earlier stages, before the cups develop, resemble toasted marshmallows. PBS Deep Look has a great video about them: https://youtu.be/_EBipTLgPUw
Growing bird's nest fungi fruiting bodies on mulch amid fallen honey locust leaves. The larger one looks like the top of a toasted marshmallow, brown crackled with white. The smaller is orangey all over and rough-textured.
Close-up of another cup with five "eggs" in it. There are small orange growths near the base of the cup which are early stages of the fruiting body.
A cluster of three little brown cups growing on black wooden mulch (which I kind of hate but I didn't pick it). Two have several flat, round, pale egg-like structures in them.
