Not totally sure this ID is correct. Can find no reference to it growing in tropical rainforest.
thanks gully.moy, I think I'll go with X. hypoxylon and see what others say.
thanks Tiz (hahaha) and staccyh. Checking out Xylaria...
Xylaria for sure. Something close to X. hypoxylon :-)
I think it could be one of the Xylaria species.
I actually googled on the name... You never know right :) But it was not the prettiest sight, haha!
hahaha Tiz, I like your name!
I like the look of this "zoombie fungus". With a good imagination it looks like arms are stretching up from under the ground. But I have no idea what the real name might be :)
