Xylaria hypoxylon (tentative)

Botany Photo of the Day will have brief written entries on weekends, holidays and my vacations from April through September. – Daniel

Thank you to Andreas of Bogotá, Colombia, aka Quimbaya@Flickr for sharing today's image (original via BPotD Flickr Group Pool).

Candle snuff fungus has an almost worldwide distribution: today's photograph was taken in Colombia; from Australia, the Perth Urban Bushland Fungi web site featured Xylaria hypoxylon as the July 2006 Fungus of the Month; and lastly, Calphotos has a series of Californian images of this fungus.
