Cyathus striatus, commonly known as the fluted bird's nest,[5][6] is a common saprobic bird's nest fungus. This fungus resembles a miniature bird's nest with numerous tiny "eggs"; the eggs, or peridioles, are actually lens-shaped bodies that contain spores. The color and size of this species can vary somewhat, but they are typically less than a centimeter wide and tall, and grey or brown in color. The common name splash cups alludes to the method of spore dispersal: the sides of the cup are angled such that falling drops of water can dislodge the peridioles and eject them from the cup.[7][8] C. striatus can be distinguished from most other bird's nest fungi by its hairy exterior and grooved (striated) inner walls. source
