Geoglossum sp. (genus) (Earth tongue)
The fruit bodies of Geoglossum are black stalks that grow on soil (occasionally on rotten wood). The stalks have a fleshy to rubbery consistency and are broader in the upper part. The broadening may be gradual or sudden, may be long or short in relation to the whole fruit body length and may be only a little wider than the lower part of the fruit body or considerably wider. Identification to species relies on microscopic features.
