[edit] Summary
"Xylaria polymorpha, commonly known as Dead Man's Fingers. The fruitbodies (ascocarps) are often seen growing near ground level from the bases of tree stumps, especially on beech (Fagus sylvatica), but in this image they are growing from a fallen, moss-covered beech log. Each fruitbody is tapered at the base and usually 3-8 cm tall. Futher examples are shown below. The final image (Fig. 5) shows an ascocarp cut longitudinally, revealing many perithecia that lie just beneath the surface of the fruitbody. The perithecia release fusiform ascospores for dispersal to new sites." [1]
