Well after some more research I believe this one is H. americanum, I realize at this point I am basically debating with myself, but am certain one of me is correct. ;) Check the link I provided and you decide for yourself, I also provided you with more appropriate common names for both specimens. http://americanmushrooms.com/edibles2.ht...

I would go with H. coralloides here also, H. erinaceus does not have the branching. Check out my spotting of H. erinaceus, http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/141...
