carbon antlers (Xylaria hypoxylon) at Loras Woods WMA IA 653A1185

            These carbon antlers are really cool but tough to see since they are so tiny. They can be found fruiting under favorable conditions on moss-covered dead hardwood logs from spring through fall. They typically branch out at the top into shapes that resemble deer or moose antlers. Notice too how they are often pale gray on the upper portion and black at the base. These carbon antlers contain chemicals that are useful in combating some human carcinomas - just in case anybody should ask why we should care if some of nature's obscure species start to disappear.
