Artomyces pyxidatus
(Crown Tipped Coral)

Habitat

High elevation forest. Grows from old stumps, fallen logs and rotting wood.

Description

This unique coral mushroom always grows from wood. That is an easy way to differentiate them from Ramaria species as they do not grow from wood. It has "crowned" tips giving it the nick name Crown Tipped Coral. Fungi like these feel as if they came from the sea.
