This season it is growing in the same location in the log, and I am persuaded this is a Xylaria somewhat like sp. telfairii, with the grey being similar to Xylaria hypoxylon.

Greyclub. Same log, next season. Are the grey spikes just old fruit bodies that didn't make it? Many more smaller fruit than last season. Greyclub18012019 specimen collected in January.
