White Spindles

White Spindles is the most common of the many fairy clubs. Sometimes straight but more often wavy and occasionally forked near tips, it is a simple, unbranched club, often found in clusters, occasionally solitary. It is somewhat laterally flattened and sometimes grooved lengthways. They are white, the tips yellowing and eventually turning brown with age.

In the past they have been referred to by several other common names including Fairy Fingers and White Worm Coral.

They can be seen from September through to November in unimproved grassland and in leaf litter on woodland edges and clearings.

A fairly common species throughout Britain.
