Strangely Shaped Mushrooms

I see less and less of these each year, but I did find a few two days ago: it is the candlestick fungus aka stag's horn fungus (Xylaria hypoxylon), geweizwam in Dutch:

^{Olympus Stylus 1s, 42mm, ISO1600, f5.6, 1/50s}

Even stranger: the yellow stagshorn (Calocera viscosa), kleverig koraalzwammetje in Dutch:

^{Olympus Stylus 1s, 42mm, ISO100, f8, 1.6s}

With this shape and a colour fit for Tuesdays it looks like something you would expect to find in a tropical coral reef, not in a Dutch peat bog, but there you have it.

Thanks for watching!
