Following the mass fruiting of the Pheasant Wings, I recently came across another fruiting larger than any I had previously encountered. I was hunting morels at the time, but unfortunately it wasn't morels. I was checking out a stand of tulip poplars that I discovered last winter and decided to take a quick look under some large white oaks growing nearby. There I found a fairly common early spring mushroom, the Devil's Urn or Urnula craterium. Photos of this intriguing mushroom have appeared on our blog pages previously and I had found a small number of them earlier in the spring. But this was an oak limb with some four dozen or more mushrooms growing in three clusters. Yikes, that's a lot of demons! Be careful out there. Dave
