Crucibulum laeve

Found this on a sagebrush log today. Is this Dacrymyces palmatus? Not too sure on this one. reta
P.S. Hope Miller has helped identify this as Crucibulum laeve, a bird's nest fungi. The ones in my picture still have their covers (that would be peridiums)on.

  2. Right down below my house. When the weather is decent I walk with the hubby/dog. We are right on the Snake River.

  4. Reta, These look like a slime mold. Are they on a thin wire-like stalk and does the top fuzz brush off and if so what is under it? Genny
