I’m no expert, but If I’m right then it’s crown-tipped coral https://mdc.mo.gov/discover-nature/field-guide/crown-tipped-coral

Seems like Ramaria eumorpha, all my local (northen europe) ramaria species taste nice. Great find!

Agreed and is pretty nice to eat with some butter!

Looks like some Ramaria stricta I found last year while hiking in Wyoming.

Also known as Upright Coral Fungus

We have this in Scandinavia.. I wonder if it’s related?

I found some of this about a week ago, first time I'd ever seen anything like it where I live.
