Black Trumpet (Brown form) - Craterellus fallax
Fruiting bodies were vase-shaped, and the upper edges were rolled under. They were growing in a little cluster, like a bouquet. The upper surface was dark brown, and the under surface was brown and wrinkled.
Habitat: Growing on the ground in a mostly deciduous forest with eastern hemlock, oak, birch, beech, and maple.

Craterellus fallax is a species of "black trumpets" that occurs in Eastern North America where it replaces the European taxon Craterellus cornucopioides. C. fallax can also be separated by its yellow-orange spore print, where Craterellus cornucopioides has a white spore print.
