Nidula
''Nidula'' is a genus of fungi in the family Agaricaceae. Their fruit bodies resemble tiny egg-filled birds' nests, from which they derive their common name "bird's nest fungi". Originally described in 1902, the genus differs from the related genera ''Cyathus'' and ''Crucibulum'' by the absence of a cord that attaches the eggs to the inside of the fruit body. The life cycle of this genus allows it to reproduce both sexually, with meiosis, and asexually via spores. Species in this genus produce a number of bioactive compounds, including 4-(''p''-hydroxyphenyl)-2-butanone, a major component of raspberry flavor and insect attractor used in pesticides.
==Taxonomy==
The genus ''Nidula'' was originally proposed by Violet S. White in her monograph on the North American species of the Nidulariaceae, and included the species ''N. candida'' and ''N. microcarpa''.〔 The genus name is derived from the Latin ''nidula'', meaning "little nest".〔Brodie, ''The Bird's Nest Fungi'', p. 142.〕 Although originally classified in the family Nidulariaceae, molecular phylogenetics demonstrated that the Nidulariaceae are part of the agaricoid clade,〔 and ''Nidula'' was later transferred to the family Agaricaceae.〔
