The young fungus is snow-white, milky white, translucent with an admixture of white. Reaches a height of up to 10 cm. It looks like a small white bush, a twig branched many times, ending as if with horns or cloves which darken during drought. The mushroom is smooth to the touch, delicate, slightly ruffled. With age, the fruiting body becomes creamy and finally gray.Młody grzyb jest koloru śnieżnobiałego, mlecznobiałego, półprzezroczysty z domieszką bieli. Osiąga wysokość do 10 cm. Wygląda jak mały biały krzaczek, gałązka wielokrotnie rozgałęziona zakończona jakby różkami, ząbkami, które podczas suszy ciemnieją. Grzybek w dotyku jest gładki delikatny, lekko pobruzdowany. Z wiekiem owocnik staje się kremowy, aż w końcu szary.

Oh wow, this one is very particular! I've never seen it before. Thanks for sharing with us

i have found two this year (one in August, one in October). both were really tiny, just starting to grow (they were, like, 1-2 cm)... and were hardly noticeable. so probably you may have them in the woods in your place... but pass them by, and let them stay unnoticeable -- untill they grom into a 30cm bush right on your road... (which ofc will never happen! just joking.)

Ahah what an interesting story!

haha, not at all! the really intresting one, would be a photo presenting me on the knees, and then on my belly, trying to provide a decent macro shoot of that lilliputs, haha. that is really entertaining :P

Too bad most corals are inedible. The pink tipped and crown tipped corals are one of the best tasting mushrooms around.

they are not toxic, technically they are edible, as i have read -- just have no texture, taste and no cooking value. am I correct?

Many give you stomach upset so only try a little.

they are so tiny! I really cant find enough of them even for a little dish... this August, at my village, I was finding oysters (oysters! that always grom in family clusters!) three times -- and always in such a miserable quantaty... that I didnt even bother to pick up them... heh

Lucky i haven't found any oysters this fall. Gonna have to grow my own soon.

but you met TREMENDOUS amount of intresting species. nothing to feel sorrow about (in my opinion... well, unless your main cooking goal is suffering a lot due to that! )))))

I haven't eaten any coral yet, I take pictures of them and let it stay that way :)

Very few are actually edible, most are bland and alot of them can give you a stomache ache. The crown tipped coral and pink tipped coral are amazing for taste and texture though. The problem is finding enough for a meal.
