Clubs or stalks (maybe a forked or broader apex)


 

A fungus in this group has a fruitbody that is basically no more than a club or stalk in appearance.

 

There may some broadening centrally to give a spindle-like  look or the fruitbody may broaden towards the apex (but there is no well-differentiated cap).

 

In some the stalk may fork at the apex, but the fruitbodies lack the branching found in the coralloid fungi (https://canberra.naturemapr.org/Community/Categories/Guide/1732).

Agreed
Not unlike Clavaria redoleoalii at first glance - note difference in stem

Well spotted! These black fruitbodies are very easy to overlook.

This specimen has a shorter, fertile black top than you usually see. The combination of the black top and the little bit of khaki/olive stem that you see close to the ground point me to the species.
