Extract from Wikipedia article: Clavulina cristata, commonly known as the white coral fungus or the crested coral fungus, is a white- or light-colored edible coral mushroom present in temperate areas of the Americas and Europe. It is the type species of the genus Clavulina.
Clavulina coralloides is a coral-like fungus that grows up to 8 cm tall, with branched, waxy, and pale yellow to cream-colored stems. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, it typically fruits in late summer to early fall in coniferous and mixed forests, often on acidic soils and moss-covered substrates, particularly under pine and spruce trees. It is considered a rare species in the region, but can be locally common in suitable habitats.
