Another walk through the woods today. More #birdsnestfungi along with some other fun little guys.

A breath of fresh air, a chance to clear my head. This has been a long week already. Find your peace, good folks. Whatever makes you feel refreshed. You're […]

A pair of fuzzy little birds nest fungi grow from a split stick, raising their little "eggs" above the forest floor. A bright orange fungi looks like nothing so much as a ball of orange snot. Dozens of pale brown mushrooms hold their fragile heads high, their secret council interrupted.

Afternoon, good people! Spotted more #birdsnestfungi today while investigating a new anthill. It's a neat one.

Cheers, take care out there.

A cluster of five birds nest fungi or merrily poke up from the undergrowth. A fallen log, covered in moss, rests amid numerous fallen leaves. Two small mushrooms are growing beside a mossy log.

Feeling a bit tired today. A bit slow, a touch methodical.

Chilled dew lit up the spiderwebs though, and I spotted both a birds nest fungi and an actual bird's nest! Nourishing discoveries, both.

Cheers friends.

A look through a cobweb on a broken stick, transformed by the morning's dew into a magical portal. A few pointed mushroom caps rise above pine needles and bracken. A mossy log sports a small birds nest fungi and a trio of taller mushrooms. An old birds nest, empty this time of year, in the crotch of a tree.

Happy Friday chums!

Yesterday's #birdsnestfungi post was one of the most popular posts I've ever had since I started doing my #awalkaday things. So today I went back to that log again to get y'all some more of those #fungi.

Cheers, and stay safe out there […]

Birds nest fungi cluster on a mossy log, just being their best fuzzy little selves. A tiny mushroom pops out of the mossy side of a log on a narrow stem, spreading a tiny umbrella of a cap. It has a companion visible farther away, slightly out of focus. Just a feather on some leaves. There were more nearby, evidence of a bird's passing.

Hello humans, hope you're staying warm and safe.

Spotted some #birdsnestfungi on today's walk, each about the size of my smallest fingernail. Also some neat #lichen on a rock.

Sometimes just taking the moment to appreciate the little things can be an act of […]

Seven or eight fuzzy little cup-shaped fungi cling to a dead limb, looking positively adorable. Lichens and mosses battle for supremacy on a large boulder, very slowly. Gray skies hang moistly above an olive-colored field; a gravel path wraps followed the treeline along the leftmost side of the photo.

Cyathus olla, Field Bird's Nest Fungi, has sprung up in our garden again. Amazing to see these tiny fruiting bodies which resemble a bird's nest complete with eggs. #fungi #BirdsNestFungi #Yorkshire

Since I first got my macro camera, I've been searching for bird's nest fungi to photograph and finally yesterday -- success! It's tiny, too, just a little over 3mm across!

Photos from my mushroom walk today. Only one of them is of an actual mushroom, heh.

Slime molds are my current favourite things.

And BUTTERFLIES. I chase them like a little kid, and they never want to land in front of me, haha.

A cute little bird's nest fungi. I haven't ID'd to species yet, but isn't it cuuuuute? Wolf's Milk, 𝘓𝘺𝘤𝘰𝘨𝘢𝘭𝘢 𝘦𝘱𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘳𝘶𝘮, one of my newest favourite slime molds. Lots of it around right now. 𝘗𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘶𝘴 𝘤𝘭𝘰𝘥𝘪𝘶𝘴, a white butterfly that I don't usually see down here closer to sea level. This was taken up in the powerlines above my neighbourhood. And last, but not least, I present: Chocolate tube slime. 𝘚𝘵𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘴 sp. This is a really teeny tiny slime mold, and it looks like teeny tubes of milk chocolate with a dusting of cocoa powder. Not the best photo, sadly.

Look at these cute little mushrooms I found today as I was trying to burn off the crazy in the woods.

Birds nest fungus is so cool. False morel mushroom with a tiny drip of water.

Which are interesting. Rain will plop into the “nest”, resulting in a catapult effect, launching
peridioles (these house the spores) to new locations, thus spreading new growth.
The tiny top will peel back to reveal the spore casings which resemble eggs.

Bird's nest fungi, Nidularia or Nidula sp., on a wet log. New blog post: wanderinweeta.blogspot.com/2025/01/choc... #VancouverIsland #Fungi #BirdsNestFungi
Two round fungi, holding their spore cases. The fungi are tiny cups, white around the slightly hairy rim, golden brown inside. The cups hold a handful of round spore cases, slightly flattened. These are brown; they look like chocolate candies. One has escaped the "nest" and lies on the wet wood of the old log.
