"Fluted Bird's Nest" Was Found Near the Jim Jiem River

This is my contribution to #FungiFriday, which is now in its 21st week.

These photos were taken yesterday afternoon while I was walking through the forest near the Jim Jiem river in Bandar Baru, Pidie Jaya district, Aceh.

Look at what's inside; it's a rare fungus that mimics a bird's nest. It is Cyathus striatus, a species of fungus belonging to the family Nidulariaceae. That fungus is funnel-shaped, with the sides scaly, and you can see on the surface there is a place to keep the "eggs" or "seeds", but it's actually the peridioles that contain the spores.

People call this the "fluted bird's nest" fungus because of its shape, which resembles a bird's nest. The bird's nest mushroom is almost never seen among the many mushroom spots I've found, and I've only found them twice. Normally, they occur in large clusters, but I only got a few there.

I'm hoping to get more species on my next mushroom walk, but first I need to get in shape and be in a good mood, of course!


Happy #FungiFriday! 😉

I'm sure you didn't read it all the way through because I already noted where the mushroom was taken. 🤣

Sadly, no mushrooms like this can be found in the mushroom spots we frequently visit.

@akukamaruzzaman, are these fungi from another dimension?! Man, they are very strange looking, and somehow beautifully disturbing...
Great work! <3

Thank you. Yes, the shape is strange. However, the fungus exists and is most likely common in Southeast Asia.
