Joe154 Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 I found this stick & was wondering what is growing on it. The ones at the top are covered in black spores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve B Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 Could be some old Lycogala epidendrum or Wolf's Milk. It's a slime mold that starts out bright pink but then turns gray then potentially even brown as it gets very mature. https://nature.mdc.mo.gov/discover-nature/field-guide/wolfs-milk-slime-toothpaste-slime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 Probably a species of Daldinia. https://www.mycoquebec.org/bas.php?trie=D&l=l&nom=Daldinia childiae / Daldinie de Child&tag=Daldinia childiae&gro=90 If this proposal is correct, then the sectioned fruit body will show concentrically arranged layers of variably black/gray context.
