Crown-tipped Coral
Clavicorona pyrxidata

This mushroom is found around here usually growing in groups from spring into autumn. They prefer decaying logs on the forest floor. They can be ID'd from the other coral mushrooms in two ways. One is that this one grows on wood and the other is that it has a crown-like structure at the ends of each of its branches. Most people tend to pick the more tender ends, especially in the older ones.

Warning: Although many people pick and consume this mushroom, it can cause problems with certain individuals. These people develop gastronomical upsets including diarrhea and vomiting.
