Yup, Xylaria, probably X polymorpha.
See the link to the Dead Man's Fingers mushroom: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xylaria_pol...
Here's a link to your university website which describes this http://hyg.ipm.illinois.edu/pastpest/200...
Growing on mulch that was recently added.
About three inches tall at most, seem to be connected at the base.
Description?... possibly Xylaria sp.
