BastedBrew Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 Hello, so happy I found this site, I will probably be posting a lot! I was out looking for pheasants, morels and ramps today and came across what I thought were devil's urns, but then noticed they had the elongated hollow trunk black trumpets usually have. I have never seen either in the wild and am pretty excited to see what I may have! They are totally smooth, were found at the base of a moss covered tree. Near Burlington, Wisconsin this afternoon.Mixed tree cover in loamy soil, a few pines, ash and elm. Pictures follow: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Smalldridge Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 It's hard to tell from the photos, but these appear to originating from dead wood. Also in the bottom photo, they appear very cup like. This would probably eliminate black trumpets. Also, I'm guessing it's a little early for black trumpets in your area.

bobby b Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 They don't look like trumpets. Two maybe three years ago, Pittsburgh had a very wet June/July and there were lots of trumpets. Still have some left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mushroom Whisperer Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Definitely not Craterellus. Most likely Urnula. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BastedBrew Posted May 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 That's what I suspected, and now that I've read up on them some more I'll probably see them all over the place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Urnula craterium, "Devil's Urns". The flesh if tougher/more resilient than with Black Trumpets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
