Hericium coralloides

This beautiful specimen of Hericium coralloides was photographed at Fort Riley, Kansas by Wildlife Biologist Gibran Suleiman. Formerly known as Hericium ramosum, it can be found growing solitary or in groups on decaying hardwood. It is an edible mushroom, but its striking appearance makes it as much to be admired as consumed.
