FOTD #024 : dung-loving bird's nest! (cyathus stercoreus)

the dung-loving bird's nest (what a name !!) is a fungus in the family nidulariaceae. it grows worldwide, & is most often found in animal dung.

the big question : can i bite it?? while inedible, this fungus is used in both traditional medicine & biodegradation.

c. stercoreus description :

"the fruiting bodies, or perida, are funnel- or barrel-shaped, 6–15 mm tall, 4–8 mm wide at the mouth, sometimes short-stalked, golden brown to blackish brown in age. the outside wall of the peridium, the ectoperidium, is covered with tufts of fungal hyphae that resembles shaggy, untidy hair. however, in older specimens this outer layer of hair (technically a tomentum) may be completely worn off. the internal wall of the cup, the endoperidium, is smooth and grey to bluish-black. the 'eggs' of the bird's nest – the peridioles – are blackish, 1–2 mm in diameter, & there are typically about 20 in the cup. peridioles are often attached to the fruiting body by a funiculus, a structure of hyphae that is differentiated into three regions: the basal piece, which attaches it to the inner wall of the peridium, the middle piece, & an upper sheath, called the purse, connected to the lower surface of the peridiole."

What should I do for 200 followers?

Also look at this fungus.

This really pretty bug was living near a patch of cyathus stercoreus in my backyard. I think it was chlorochroa sayi

[aldercaps]

bird’s nest fungus!! first time i’ve noticed it in the woods around town. pretty sure it’s Cyathus stercoreus?

[bowelfly]

assorted fungi from my New Mexico field work: Clavariadelphus truncatus club coral, Vascellum curtisii puffball, Crucibulum laeve and Cyathus stercoreus bird’s nests, and a big ass Exsudoporus permagnificus. I don’t know shit about fungi so all IDs are provisional. experts welcome to correct me *cough @sporesmore*

Fungal Laccase A Review on Production and its Potential Application for Human Welfare

Laccase belongs to the blue multi copper oxidases, which are widely distributed in fungi and higher plants. Lignin degradation by several white rot fungi, such as Phanerochaete chrysosporium, Pleurotus ostreatus, Coriolus versicolor, Cyathus stercoreus, and Ceriporiopsis subvermispora, have been studied. Laccase enzymes have attracted attention due to its wide use in textile, pulp and paper, and food industry. Recently, it is being used in developing biosensors for detection and removal of toxic pollutants, designing of biofuel cells and medical diagnostics tool. Laccase is also being used as a bioremediation agent as they have been found potent enough in cleaning up herbicides pesticides and certain explosives in soil. Because of having the ability to oxidize phenolic, non phenolic lignin related compounds and highly fractious environmental pollutants, laccases have drawn the attention of researchers in the last few decades. Commercially, laccases have been used to determine the difference between codeine and morphine, produce ethanol and are also being employed in de lignify woody tissues. To sustain this trend widespread availability of laccase and efficient production systems have to be developed. The current review discuss major advances in application of fungal laccase in white biotechnology. It delineate the laccase production and various cultivation techniques that have been developed to efficiently produce laccase at the industrial scale. The role of laccase in different food industries, and significant recent advances in the use of laccases are discussed in this review.

A bird’s nest fungus, probably Cyathus stercoreus. If you look more closely at a bed of mulch, you can often find them.

I went on a hike today 🌲🍄🐌

Cyathus stercoreus Never before today have I seen a birds’ nest fungus with black eggs! Also in the last pic there is a tiny snail

Close-ups of the mushrooms I found Christmas morning. If you look in the lower left corner, you can see Cyathus stercoreus, a cup fungus.

I found Cyathus stercoreus right next to Marasmius oreades. It's so rare that I'm able to find cup fungi.
