This Fungus is Known As ‘Dead Man’s Fingers,’ And It Is Quite Disturbing

Regan Daniels of North Carolina shared intriguing photos of a fungus resembling dead man’s toes on the Facebook group Mushroomcore. While some doubted its authenticity, Daniels confirmed its validity. Upon closer inspection, the upward growth of the mushrooms dispelled any skepticism.

Dead Man’s Fingers (Xylaria polymorpha) mushrooms are prevalent in Britain, Ireland, mainland Europe, and parts of North America. They typically thrive at the base of tree stumps, primarily beechwood, and occasionally on other buried hardwoods. These mushrooms grow year-round, appearing in clusters of three to six ‘fingers,’ often contorted, resembling arthritic black knuckles. Despite their eerie appearance, they are not only fascinating but also quite common in various regions.
