Field Notes

Description:

This fungi belongs to the Family: Xylariaceae and it could be Xylaria sp., but this is by no means certain as explained by P.N. Ranger mauna Kunzah in her comment below.

Habitat:

Spotted growing on a little compost heap at one end of our garden that we don't visit too often.

To: mauna Kunzah Thank you for identifying the family Xylariaceae for this fungi. It is so helpful to me to receive this kind of guidance, because when it comes to Fungi, I am truly a complete novice and, of course, Xylariaceae; poss. Xylaria sp. sounds a great deal better than "wild spaghetti". Thank you for you kindness. John B.

I am certain that this is one of the Xylariaceae. It could be Xylaria sp., but there are a lot of different fungi that look visually similar in the family. https://koasas.kaist.ac.kr/bitstream/10203/175619/1/000321597300003.pdf
