      1. <3 no problem! That "boxy" crown shape at the tips is usually a giveaway. Ramaria tends to be more blunted/rounded if that makes sense. Artomyces is also a bit more "dainty". Posted 3 years ago, modified 3 years ago

''Artomyces pyxidatus'' is a coral fungus that is commonly called crown coral or crown-tipped coral fungus. Its most characteristic feature is the crown-like shape of the tips of its branches. The epithet ''pyxidatus'' means "box-like"—a reference to this shape.
