Dead Man's Fingers and Unknown Shelf Fungi

Xylaria polymorpha

Description:

Found three different fungi growing from a stump, including these two. Only a few centimeters long, there were a lot more polymorpha that I didn't get shots of, they were scattered all around and on top of the stump.

Habitat:

Riverside Park, wet, lots of deciduous trees.

Notes:

Thought they might be chunks of burnt wood at first but upon closer inspection they were clearly mushrooms.
