TIL there's a fungi that looks like a bird's nest.

There are a bunch, some have the "eggs" attached with little strings to make them fling in different directions, some keep the eggs in jelly until they're ready to be splashed out, some are weird little balls that burst open instead of cups with lids that pop off.

You usually find them on twigs, they're hard to spot because they're all pretty tiny.

My boss burst in one day to tell me these were in the wood chips outside my work. I went out and sure enough, they were there, but so much smaller than I expected - I'd have missed them.

Someone posted a photo of these on the Mycology community a few months ago. Very beautiful fungi IMO.
