Bird's Nest Fungi on Saint George Court, Warwick, RI Tropical Mushrooms in Governor Francis Farms

While watering tomatoes this week I noticed a cluster of teeny-tiny

cup shaped mushrooms in the compost. Memory flash to the guide books

I read last year on identifying local fungi; I had seen this one before.

Yes indeed, a quick trip to Google gave me the positive ID I needed.

I had found Bird's Nest Fungi!

Notice the immature fungi; creamy beige, with a raspy exterior.

They will soon open up to spread their spores.
