| | | Small striped fungi
The fungus below was on a dead branch of Cork Oak and about the size of Xylaria longipes.........
Identification help appreciated as I can't find any references to striped Xylaria!

Hello Jenny
I was hoping others would immediately name this 
My thoughts are of an immature Xylaria polymorpha

Looks like some kind of coral from a fish tank, but it's too early for April Fools! |

Hi Jenny,
looks to me like x polymorpha with a white mould on it - the mould has dried and so cracked in appearance.
Thats my guess!
Cheers
Ken

Thanks John and Ken. Could it have been got by slugs or something showing the white flesh? Quote: |

In the spring when Xylaria polymorpha first starts to develop it is a very pale colour and certainly has a white tip containing the spores. By summer it turns much darker and eventually black during autumn / winter.
Well worth checking again later if possible.
