Dead Man's Fingers (Xylaria polymorpha) is a fungus that helps to decay wood that has fallen in the forest. Here is a photo of some dead man's finger fungus that was emerging from a fallen log in a ravine at Clegg Garden. The fungus finger shown at the bottom of the photo was pulled out of the log so I could show it better. The fingers at the top have not been disturbed and they are seen still in the log.
Photo taken August 21, 2015.
