    These strange seed pods are growing in a pot of semps I have. I dont have any idea what they are I never saw a plant in that pot to give the seeds, and the really strange thing is these seed pods are rooted! Anyone know what these are? You can see a couple open pods with seeds and a bunch of little brown pods.

    I have no idea. Is the pot under or close to anything that could drop them ? Looks like they are all on top of the soil as opposed to coming up in the pot from the soil.

    I'm not sure exactly what they are, but I always get them from the (wet) manure pile. They are some type of fungus I think.

    Wow cool, those are called Birds Nest Fungus. I have never seen them except for in pictures, but I think they are really neat.
