Bird's nest fungi ( Cyathus ) by larose forest photos


	Christine Hanrahan

The little spore sacs, or "eggs" are the silvery white packets inside these tiny "nests". When the rain hits them, the spores are released.

Indeed one can imagine a little hummingbird laying its eggs in these!

Very beautiful. They are so tiny that it isn't easy to find them.

I think these are tiny, so, great you were able to get such a close-up!
