Description
Spore examination is necessary to identify any black earth tongues to species. Fruiting body: Viscid, gelatinous when wet. Head: Spoon or lance-shaped, compressed at center to irregularly folded; initially dull becoming smooth and shiny in age, often with longitudinal groove; not sharply differentiated from stalk; flesh brown, tough. Stalk: Smooth, slightly roughened or smooth. G. glutinosum (not yet verified at Maryland Biodiversity Project) is almost identical, but has shorter spores. (J. Solem, pers. comm.) See also Trichoglossum. Use Geoglossum sp. page if identification isn't verified by spore examination.
