Fingers’ Fungus looks as creepy as it sounds

Back in 2020, a woman named Regan Daniels of North Carolina was taking the usual walk at the park in her home town when she stumbled upon something creepy but fascinating at the same time.

Assuming that the members of the Facebook group Mushroomcore would love it, Daniels shared the photos of the strangely looking fungus there, not assuming that her post would attract the attention of thousands of people.

What Daniels actually came across was what is known as Dead Man’s Fingers (Xylaria polymorpha), a type of fungus resembling toes or fingers of a dead person trying to break through the ground. “Saw this Dead Man’s Fingers (or toes in this case) fungus that I literally thought was a Halloween decoration!,” she wrote in her post which showed the swollen, blackened “fingers.”

Many of the people, who were totally stunned by the photos, didn’t know that this fungus is actually quite common and is prevalent in Britain, Ireland, mainland Europe, and various regions across North America, so if you are observant enough, you can see it yourself.
