Ramariopsis crocea

The fruitbodies are markedly branched growths and belong to the group of fungi colloquially called coral fungi. The fruitbodies are fairly delicate in appearance, may grow to several centimetres tall and one or two centimetres wide. The branches are well separated from each other, rather than packed fairly densely, so the whole fruitbody has a very open appearance and, when well-developed, is somewhat antler like. The fruitbodies are brightly coloured in yellow to orange shades.

 

The fruitbodies appear on soil.

 

The species has been reported from many countries.

 

Look-alikes

This species should be easy to recognize. Other species of Ramariopsis have different colours. Some species of Clavulinopsis may be yellow to orange and also grow on soil, but they are either unbranched and club-like (or perhaps with a slight forking near the apex). Species of Ramaria are markedly branched but are more robust with the branches much more closely packed.   

Ramariopsis crocea is listed in the following regions:

Canberra & Southern Tablelands
