Dead Man's Fingers

Sweet, thanks! Spooky name

I can see how it got it

I am sure this is wrong, but it vaguely reminds me of lithops or living stone succulents:

As others have said it's dead man's fingers. They still scare the shit out of me when I see them popping up in my raised beds lol

Maybe a colony of enteridium lycoperdon slime mold? Yours looks disturbingly like teeth. Some look like this.

[Edit] Nope! Dead man’s fingers for sure!

Google Lens says it's Dead Man's Fingers (Xylaria polymorpha). I guess it's possible. It seems to really live up to the polymorpha part of it's name in images.
