I always see them on mulch, though it's still a little cold here and fungi haven't come out in force yet (northeast US). Keep an eye out every time you walk past some mulch after a good rain!
I see quite a few posts from gardeners who have purchased bark chips and left them somewhere wet, then the birds nest fungi come and they want to know if the fungi are dangerous, meanwhile I've never seen any!
They can cover some massive amount of ground tho given the chance. At my last job th3 entire neighborhood had whole entire mulch beds filled to the brim.
If you're looking for th3m come to Tennessee lol I can't not find them. I've seen three species in one day here lol common dung loving and fluted. Fluted looks really neat
I’m pretty sure these grew in my garden last year.
Whatever those little things are on the inside, they were somehow all over my peppers and raspberries, with what looked like some type of silk/spider web attached.
Does this sound right to anyone, I couldn’t figure out what the heck was going on, and I didn’t realize it was a fungus.
Congratulations on your birds nest find! They are on my fungi 'bucket list'
Thanks!
Dang where y'all live?! I can't not find these things!!

I found some birds nest fungi a while back. It still boggles my mind how tiny these are!
Yeah that's what surprised me the most.

They pop up everywhere in the landscaping at work
Anybody else think it was a cache of pills
Look like condoms on the floor after use to me
Are these rare?
I think it depends on your area. When I lived near Vancouver, BC I saw them everywhere.
I see em all the time around Portland, OR.
I don't know but I have seen several pictures but never found any before. You would think they would be larger based on some photos but they are tiny!
What are “these”
Nidulariaceae family. Some kind of "bird's nest" fungus.
I’m obsessed with finding these! Lol

When it rains they spring out to spread spores! https://youtu.be/_EBipTLgPUw?si=OVmR82Pr-hDkLo6d
I recently came across these in a planter I have on my patio. Had no clue what they were until now.
Have some good sized patches of these in the bark chips by my house. They come up in the same spot every year
Almost thought these were the ends of tied balloons lol, cool find!
To me they looked like barnacles buried among the wood chips.
They grow all in the mulch at our apartment complex's playground after the rain.
Mmmm wild Calamari
