Cup Fungi

I'll identify it later ;-)

Dead Bat

I found this dead bat right outside our backdoor Friday morning I think it was. Dh disposed of the poor critter, I have no idea what killed it except we did have exceptionally high winds and really hard rains. I'm not sure if it is a male or a female so included a shot of it's belly. We have bats clining to the north side of our house just under the eaves and STILL have mosquito's everywhere.

Dead Man's Fingers

Today's visual update, the tops of the fruiting bodies had less white spores on them this afternoon.

Dead Man's Fingers

I was finally able to find out the name of the fungi, with the help of a list mate - thank you Deb~! - the cluster of fungi is called Dead Man's Fingers and you can get more information about them here http://www.mushroomexpert.com/xylaria_polymorpha.html
