Bird’s Nests
No not the avian variety but something a little more special. We are talking fungi here – Bird’s Nest Fungi.
Amanda found these in our garden and neither of us had seen this type of fungus before. The individual ‘nests’ are between a quarter and a half inch in diameter.
Although it’s not a very scientific description I think they’re rather cute really.

Must be a slow time on Jolly Olde England! I guess that’s better than over excitement!

It does appear that these fungi are far more plentiful in the U.S. than they are over here. I wouldn’t call them rare but they are certainly uncommon.
Your latest comment was slightly delayed because it ended up in the spam trap. This is probably because of the two URLs but don’t let that stop you.
Only four months to go then.
