Dead Man’s Fingers (Xylaria polymorpha) grows on dead wood (usually beech & sycamore) throughout the year, and is very common. The fruiting body is black and irregularly club shaped, often in small groups. It’s of a small(ish) size, reaching up to 8cm in height and up to 3cm in diametre. It’s hard outer shell protects the white flesh within where the spores are produced.

True Horror

Gibellula sp. of fungus, parasitizing a spider. Fungi of this unusual genus are pathogens of spiders. Windblown spores germinate on the exoskeleton, penetrate the spider, then grow internally, digesting their host. Finally, these spore-bearing synnemata erupt from the cadaver.
