From today's featured article  C. striatus fungus, resembling a nest with eggs Cyathus is a genus of bird's nest fungi in the family Nidulariaceae, so named since they resemble tiny bird's nests filled with eggs. The "eggs", or peridioles, are attached to the inner surface of the fruiting body by a cord of mycelium. Both surfaces of the cup may be ridged longitudinally, a taxonomic characteristic that has traditionally served to distinguish between species. Cyathus species are widely distributed across the globe, and some are found in most countries, although a few are localized. C. stercoreus is considered endangered in a number of European countries. Generally considered inedible, Cyathus species are saprobic, obtaining nutrients from decomposing organic matter. They usually grow on decaying woody material, on cow and horse dung, or directly on humus-rich soil. The life cycle of this genus allows them to reproduce both sexually via meiosis, and asexually via spores. Phylogenetic analysis has provided insights into the relationships between the various species. (Full article...)

Phil Elverum (pictured) began the Microphones initially as a solo project, releasing cassette demos of tests and experiments. The band's first studio album, Don't Wake Me Up, was released on K Records in August 1999 and gave the band a small following. The extended play Window: was released in February 2000. In September 2000, the studio album It Was Hot, We Stayed in the Water was released on K, solidifying Don't Wake Me Up &#39; s sound. The Glow Pt. 2 was released on K in September 2001; it went on to become a cult classic and Elverum's most critically acclaimed album. In 2003, the studio album Mount Eerie was released, along with two extended plays consisting of stems from the album. After the release of Mount Eerie, Elverum retired the Microphones pseudonym and opted to release his music under Mount Eerie instead, as the themes of his music had changed. Elverum returned to the name in 2020 with the autobiographical concept album Microphones in 2020. Elverum implied it would be the final studio album released under the Microphones. (Full list...)
