Crucibulum laeve
This tiny fungus is a exact replica of a bird nest. Yellow/Brown in the cup where the egs are atached by a cord(funiculus),when a drop of rain hit the nest the egs are projected and the cord brock,but continue atached to the egs that use it to grab themselfs to the leaves that are arround.
Spotted in a accumulation of dead ferns in the border of a dirt road,near the river Homem,in Caldelas,Braga.
