Bird Nest - Blog Posts
I could've sworn I've posted this here before.
I'm so confused with many places to post things.
Fungi
This is the TINIEST bird's nest you'll ever see! Bird's nest fungi are a group of fungi that resemble bird nests due to their cup-shape and small egg-like reproductive structures nestled inside.
Young fruiting bodies have a thin membrane which eventually splits and reveals 'eggs' which have a diameter of 1-3mm. These reproductive bits, called peridioles, become splashed out when rain lands inside the cup!
There are around 60 species of bird's nest fungi found throughout the world on organic matter, such as decaying wood, in forests.
7. Carolina Wren (Thryothorus ludovicianus)
The Carolina Wren has recently become a favorite of mine. They have such an immediately recognizable song that will never fail to get me to look out the closest window when I hear it. Today, one even decided to take a seat in one of my plant pots for a bit, I wonder if she's looking for a place to nest!
