Common Birds Nest Fungus

Cobble Hill B C

Crucibulum laeve

Tiny,deeply cup-shaped with a wide flaring mouth; the largest one shown is 1/4 inch or 6mm across. The eggs are aprox 1mm they are dispersed with the aid of rain drops. The force of a single rain drop will splash the eggs out of the nest and as much as 7 feet away ( hence they are sometimes called "splash cups")

Yes, really something very comfortable about t his shot. The 'stuff' in the lower right adds to it I think. SHARRON

Hi Norm,
These looks like little wooden bowl of lima beans; so cute.
You and your Pentax take super macro shots.

These wee things intrigue me and I remember you photographing them before.
