High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Xylaria hypoxylon is an inedible species of fungus in the genus Xylaria. It is known by a variety of common names, such as the candlestick fungus, the candlesnuff fungus, carbon antlers or the stag's horn fungus. The fruit bodies, characterized by erect, elongated black branches with whitened tips, typically grow in clusters on decaying hardwood. The fungus can cause a root rot in hawthorn and gooseberry plants. Xylaria hypoxylon was first described by Carl Linneaus in 1745, and then later mentioned by him in his Species Plantarum II. The specific epithet is derived from the Greek words hypo meaning "below", and xylon, meaning "wood".
