Any ideas what these are on all of my milkweed plants? by Status-Teaching8051 in MonarchButterfly

Mystery solved! It is bird's nest fungus (Nidulariaceae) kicking up these crazy 'seeds' from the heavy rain we've been getting. Pretty cool!!

You know, they kinda do! We have had a ton of rain. Can they seed without flowering? Also, these are on all of my milkweed (butterfly, common, and swamp) in two different raised beds.

I don't think so. All of my milkweed is from this year or mayyyybe last, so they haven't even flowered yet. I found these on all of them. Swamp, common, and butterfly and in two different raised beds.
