Ramaria formosa – salmon coral

Synonyms: Clavaria formosa, Clavariella formosa, Corallium formosa, Corallium formosum, Merisma formosa, Merisma formosum.

Common names: salmon coral, Yellow-tipped Coral.

Extract from Wikipedia article: Ramaria formosa, commonly known as the beautiful clavaria, handsome clavaria, yellow-tipped- or pink coral fungus, is a coral fungus found in Asia, Europe and North America. It is widely held to be mildly poisonous if consumed, giving rise to acute gastrointestinal symptoms of nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and colicky pain. It is a pinkish, much-branched coral-shape reaching some 20 cm (8 in) high. Some forms collected in North America often lack the bitter taste common to European specimens and may represent a different species.
