Another #fungifriday and I found photos of "Dead Mans Fingers". They are often brownish-black with a hint of blue at the base. These were growing in my garden near the porch at the end of summer. I had forgotten that I took photos of them.

If I may say so myself, they are really creepy-looking. For the past two years, I have found them in the gardens. I don't know why they are suddenly appearing after living here for 30 years.

Well, this is my post for today, I have to get to work starting on Christmas cookies for the giveaway trays. I'll keep you posted.

It's a very funny name but I do agree with you, the fingers stick out like those of a dead man.

Wow, dead mans fingers is such an apt name for this fungus.
