Xylaria polymorpha

#deadmansfingers #fungi #fungus they will soon elongate and I will show you the progress as they will look more like fingers soon. I thought this was teeth in a skull when I first saw it.

Thrilled that these are local for you! I thought they only grew in some exotic place like the mountains of Transylvania

Always heard and saw pictures but never saw them in person. Very excited when I saw them!! @emch

I also thought "Why is she burying a jawbone?"

😆 I really bent down and looked close then to realize the teeth were growing from the ground.😂 @sushiwaitress
