Xylaria hypoxylon in Howard Co., Maryland (5/30/2013). Identified by Lance Biechele. Lance notes: "This ascomycete has both an asexual stage, the white conidia that are seen here, and a black sexual stage that is beginning to develop at the base of the fruiting body and will eventually replace the conidia."
