LOL…I was looking to identify an unknown (to me, anyway) species of fungus, lichen or moss–haven’t decided definitely which it is–and found YOU. I love the pictures… and the narratives… and, of course, the identifications. Now, if only I can figure out what I have found. I don’t have a pic to show you, but it looks like some form of Coral Fungus, only black in color. It comes from a a solid node underground, then branches above ground into five to six, finger wide projections that stand upright. When broken, they look white and fleshy inside with the black skin on the outside. Don’t know if that is much help, but if you have seen something like it I’d appreciate knowing. Thanks so much for your informative site. Keep up the good work.

I don’t think I’ve ever run across the term “marcescent” outside the riff I made on the term in regards to Beech leaves, I think it was.

And I’d call them Pixie’s Parasols. I especially like the translucency you can see in this view of them on your page.
