Clavulina cristata

Comments (4)

There are an amazing number of coral fungi (Ramaria) that are off-white like this. They vary some, but look a lot alike, too. They seem to come up late in the season here on the Pacific coast, and last into the colder weather. They are far more common than sparassis, and tend to come up a few feet from each other, where sparassis comes up in one fruiting body & you may never find another one in your life :P
I thank you for the help I was trying I upload another picture from my trek through the woods in the north Georgia mountains.
Yes, this is more likely a Ramaria than a Sparassis; don't eat it quite yet...
i think this is also a coral fungi... http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/17923138
