Coral

This is my last post.  Lucky for all of you my phone is about to die.  My wife and I went out today for a long hike and found all sorts of interesting things.  We have lots of this coral that ranges from beige to brown.  This was all found in the same area high on a shady bank.

I think there are two different species seen here.

The larger beige ones with the pointed branch-ends are likely a species of Ramaria. Coral mushrooms representing genus Ramaria can be very difficult to pin down to species.

It's possible the smaller white ones are the same species as the larger ones, only younger. But, I think these are a different species. The branch tips do not taper to sharp points like what is seen with the larger ones. My best guess for the smaller white ones is Ramariopsis kunzei.

You're welcome, catphysh. No need to feel compelled to reciprocate. But thanks. Perhaps, at some point in time, I'll have some tech question? I enjoy doing this. It's one way to try to keep my ID skills sharp, and to learn new types of mushrooms.
