There's a fungus known as dead man's fingers... because it can literally look like the fingers of a corpse bursting out of the ground.

You’re walking through the woods on a crisp, late October afternoon, smelling the sharp scent of decaying leaves and listening to the dry rustle of beech leaves in the breeze. You decide to take a break, sit on an old stump, munch an apple and observe this amazing world…but, what is that reaching up next ...

    I had learned about these in the days of yore. Was doing gardening and found a small specimen growing at the base of my tree. Apparently they LOVE rotting wood…whelp

    There is a willow grows aslant a brook, That shows his hoar leaves in the glassy stream. There with fantastic garlands did she come Of crow-flowers, nettles, daisies, and long purples That liberal shepherds give a grosser name, But our cold maids do dead men’s fingers call them

      That’s a great one 😇. I picture her wreath a little differently now.

    Disappointed to find out they’re toxic.

      Not all that toxic, though. One mushroom forager website I saw was from a person who said that they used to recommend and enjoy them, but new information about their toxicity came out and they stopped eating them. 🤷‍♂️
