Bird's Nest Fungus (<i>Crucibulum laeve</i>),a fungus of the Nidulariaceae native to New Zealand As with others in its family, the mature fruiting bodies resemble a birds nest with eggs. The peridium forms the nest, and the peridioles the eggs. Raindrops falling into the 'nest' force out the spore-bearing peridioles.
