Cyathus olla - Bird's - Nest Fungus Growing in Our Yard!



We just found this fungus growing in our yard today, October 4th, 2009. Look in the lower right-hand corner to see a miniature bird's nest with egg looking doodads in them. I found a link that supplies information about this unusual fungus. Check it out. As I understand it, it only lasts for a few days. . . maybe a week. It is so cool.
