Excerpt from The Canadian Field-Naturalist, 1968, Vol. 82
The small gasteromycetous fungi known as the Nidulariaceae or Bird's Nest Fungi are widely distributed throughout Canada and seem to have invaded almost every ecological niche. Northward they extend at least to the Yukon; to the south they occur even in the dry areas along the United States border in the western provinces; they are common in British Columbia in the west and are abundant in the larger eastern provinces. Distribution records, of course, trace the paths of botanical collectors and do not (at present at least) give a complete picture of distribution.
Although the majority of Nidulariaceae are likely to be found growing in moist woodlands, in pastures or in gardens where compost has been added to the soil, they are by no means confined to such habitats. A few examples only of more unusual habitats are given: in the far north they have been found growing upon old rotted sleigh runners; in the Rocky Mountains they may occur on high alpine scree (brodie, in the badlands of southern Alberta (red Deer Valley) they grow On the t0ps of buttes and hills, often among cacti and sagebrush.
