The Fungi world (26) : Candlesnuff fungus

The party ain’t over yet !
It’s late autumn, but there are still fungi growing in the forest.

Look what I found : a Candlesnuff fungus. It’s a very small but conspicuous black and white coloured species with a branched antler like form.
Can be found all year round, but most commonly in autumn.
The specimen in the shot is only 1cm. high.

Dutch name : Geweizwam
German name : Geweihförmige Holzkeule
Latin name : Xylaria hypoxylon
