Candlesnuff / stagshorn

Candlesnuff / stagshorn

Candlesnuff / stagshorn is a small, common fungus which grows on dead wood, including tree stumps and sometimes dead roots.

In its candlesnuff form it is a little like a part-used and currently unlit candle wick: as stagshorn it branches like miniature antlers.

Both forms of the fungus were on the same fallen tree trunk.
