Common bird's nest fungus

Cyathus striatus

Description:

This fungus of beige color measures about 0.4cm and is shaped like a bird's nest with eggs.

Habitat:

Subtropical Rain Forest

Notes:

I found it interesting that this fungus was observed by AntónioGinjaGinja in Protugal, that is, another continent and season reversed on the same date! https://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/71... Identification By AntónioGinjaGinja. Tks!
