Bird Nest Fungi (Nidulariaceae)

I am delighted to share some pics of recent found mushroom that is commonly known as Fluted Bird's Nest that I found during my nature walk some days ago. It is widely distributed throughout temperate parts of the world. This basidiomycetous fungus really does look like a tiny bird's nest containing several eggs. What makes Bird nest fungi immediately recognizable are the form which similar to the bird egg in the nest, on the inside surfaces of its conical cups. any time I go out looking for bugs or mushrooms, it always takes some time for me to get re-acclimated to searching for such tiny details. It's always great to find this mushroom that rarely found. So, like I used to do when I saw such a mushroom that's worth a shot, and if it was in the dark, I managed to take them to the open space, so I could take some photos. This time, I tried to capture as many identifying details as I could; even going so far as plucking one up out of its do domicile.
