Pink-Tipped Coral Mushroom

in #nature7 years ago

Warning: The notes and photos on this blog are simply my personal observations. I am not a mycologist. This is not a guide to edible or inedible fungi.

While at the river yesterday I came across several species of fungi including these two examples of Coral Fungi. They appear to Ramaria botrytis. The first one about 80mm across. The second is much smaller an appears to be an immature specimen. It has many common names including Pink-Tipped Coral Mushroom, Clustered Coral Mushroom and Cauliflower Mushroom.
