Ramaria rasilispora var. rasilispora
I originally thought these were cauliflower mushrooms, but now I see that they are Ramaria or Coral fungus and this is my best guess at which species they are. They were all around the Lightning Lake campground at Manning Park this summer and they were beautiful! Anyone else think they are something else? love to have some input!

Thanks, J. There were dozens of them in this campsite. Going to go back again next summer for sure!
Lovely! It looks like your ID is right to me. :-)
Photo 1 shows the fungus just emerging from the ground, photo 2 shows one a few feet away at a more mature stage and photo 3 is a dried out one. They were all taken within a day of each other.
