Bird's-nest Fungi

Bird's-nest Fungi
Hard to believe that these Bird's-nest Fungi were very tiny, less than half an inch from what I remember, maybe even closer to quarter of an inch! As you can see, the one at the back still has it's little "lid" on it. These fungi are fascinating to look at - with their tiny "eggs" in the nest. They were found on the river bank in Bragg Creek Provincial Park on 27th July.

"The nests are splash cups. When a raindrop hits one at the right angle, the walls are shaped such that the eggs (which contain the spores) are expelled a good distance from the nest." From Wikipedia.
