Ramaria lorithamnus
The fruitbody is coralloid and may grow to 10 centimetres tall and a few wide, though mature specimens may also be much shorter. It is white at the base and in the lower parts of the stems but otherwise is creamy yellow or yellow. The branch ends are shortly forked (or sometimes three-pronged) and each prong tapers to a rounded apex.
The fruitbodies grow on soil in various habitats.
The fruitbody bruises red/brown.
The first published description of this species appeared in 1872 (as Clavaria lorithamnus), based on material collected in Victoria.
Look-alikes
Ramariopsis crocea is golden yellow to orange and with a much more open (somewhat antler-like) branching.
