This photo, taken of the top of the wood-inhabiting coral, Artomyces pyxidata (Clavicorona pyxidata), demonstrates the crown-like branch tips. This is an edible species, but some complain of temporary 'intestinal discomfort' following ingestion (cook first).

* See note below from mycologist Roz Lowen on the name change of this 'coral,' which is now allied with the Russulales.
