New to foraging trying to identify these mushrooms.
Initially I thought it was Xerocomellus porosporus (Imler ex Bon) Å utara - Sepia Bolete but the gills rule it out.
West Coast of Ireland location 🇮🇪.
Many thanks In advance
I’m thinking Dead Man’s Fingers (Xylaria polymorpha), but I’m not 100% convinced. White on the inside with a little cross shaped darkened spot in the center of the fruiting body when cut horizontally. Growing on mulch in Western North Carolina.
Found in my parents front yard while mowing. Ottawa, ON, Canada. I mowed the lawn about 2-3 weeks before and it wasn't there, popped up quickly! Old spruce stump that has rotted and formed a hole nearby, maybe 6' away or so.
