    Today I found these "one finger" fungus in the same place where I previously found the red coral fungus (podostroma) on the far-left. I think they are clavulinopsis. Can anyone verify? Posted 3 years ago

      I would expect all of these individuals to be the same species. It seems they can grow as single stem, clustered or branched:
