My guess is that this is a dried up Dead Man's Fingers.  This was the larger of the two.  It was 2" long by 1" wide.  It had about a 1/2" stem.
Xylaria polymorpha

The first edible of the year.  On a 2 foot dead Elm.
Dryad's Saddle - Polyporus squamosus
It sure is a handsome mushroom.

Here you can see that deer took a taste of it.

Looks like they will eat it but they are not crazy about the taste.  That is about how I feel about this mushroom.
