Extract from Wikipedia article: Ramariopsis pulchella is a species of coral fungus in the family Clavariaceae. Originally named Clavaria pulchella by Jean Louis Émile Boudier in 1887, the species was transferred to Ramariopsis by E.J.H. Corner in 1950. The fungus has a cosmopolitan distribution.
Ramariopsis pulchella is a species of coral fungus that grows in small to medium-sized clusters, typically 2-6 cm tall, with slender, branched stems and bright yellow to orange-yellow tips. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, it is commonly found in coniferous and mixed forests, often associated with mosses and lichens, particularly on sandy or acidic soils. Fruiting typically occurs from late summer to early autumn, with a peak in September. The fungus is considered rare to occasional in the region, but can be locally abundant in suitable habitats.
