Clavulina coralloides
The fused branches rise up from a base typically 1.5 to 2.5 cm tall and reach a total height of up to 7 cm. The tips of this white to cream coral fungus turn brown with age. When attacked by micro fungi, this coral can turn grey or even black, making identification more confusing.
Considered to be mycorrhizal, singly or in small groups on the ground beneath deciduous and coniferous trees, very often beside footpaths.
Spotted in Kroondomein Het Loo in rural area of Apeldoorn, Holland.(sources:see reference)
