Geoglossum sp.
Hardly visible on a bed of moss were these thin sculptured stalks with smooth club-shaped tips. The whole fruiting body was about 30 mm tall including the 15 mm club-shaped fertile tips.

The fruiting bodies could grow up to 70 mm. Unfortunately I did not dig down the moss to get the whole length of the stipe. There were several of these in a moist patch of moss.
