Daldinia concentrica
These fungi are found on hardwood trees such as beech. Their common name derives from the legend of King Alfred who took shelter with a peasant woman and had promised to watch some cakes for her, but failed to pay attention, and the cakes turned to cinder.
The paler pinky brown fungi are younger versions in the asexual stAge of their life cycle. As they mature, they turn black and release spores from the apical pore.
