Naturally, a few people immediately cried ‘fake’, but Daniels reassured people it wasn’t the case.

Dead Man’s Fingers (Xylaria polymorpha) mushrooms are actually pretty common in Britain and Ireland, and are also found thrEven if they were tasty.oughout mainland Europe and in many parts of North America.

They grow throughout the year at the base of tree stumps – mostly beechwood, but sometimes also on other buried hardwoods. The mushroom’s fruiting body usually appears in tufts of three to six ‘fingers’ that are often bent, giving the impression of arthritic black knuckles.

Daniels discovered the fungus growing from a stump surrounded by other similar mushrooms. The fungus isn’t generally considered edible, which might be one of the reason it had stayed intact, even in a popular destination.

But, of course, there’s another reason. Would you ever taste a dead man’s toes?
