Description
English name: Dead Man's Fingers. (thanks to Kim and Ursula)
Latin name : Xylaria longipes Nitschke.
Dutch name : Esdoornhoutknotzwam.
These are very small mushrooms, or rather fungi.
Less than 5 cm. high.
I photographed them, during our walk on the heath, on the same day as the edible chestnut.
Whether you see it, I don't know(?)
But I see a small, funny male - figure, perhaps a kind of alien? As if a photo is, in the middle, bottom; between two green mosses.
Thank you for your time and possible comments.
It was nice to meet you again.
Thank you very much.
