Description
Helvella lacunosa.
A very exciting find for me, and so close to my home! I just happened to notice these by accident in a mountain of beech leaves that the folk across the road pile up on the shrubbery that borders our avenue. They have killed the shrubs, but these almost make up for the vandalism.
It was almost impossible to get a sharp shot of them in the very dark situation, ( see Here) so I removed one and brought it into the garden to get a proper shot. As you know this does not kill the organism, which lives below ground: the structure we see is just the fruiting body.
These are widespread and common BUT I have never seen this one before!

Wow How different and awesome hugs susan
It looks appropriate for Halloween! I've never heard of such a thing, let alone seen one. I learn so much here on RR!
