(Ramaria)
Ramaria Mushrooms, more commonly known as the Coral Mushroom, are an edible species of coral fungus. They come in a variety of colours and shapes. I was reluctant to take the Latin name past the family and not into Man has eaten mushrooms for millennia. Getting out into the woods to go mushroom hunting is an enjoyable way to spend the day, and coming home with a feast from the forest is quite satisfying. After you harvest mushrooms, and you are going to try a new variety, only eat a small portion to start, sometimes an edible mushroom can upset some people.
The Coral Mushroom is one of the many fungus species that live by eating rotting wood. It and other such fungi play a very important role in breaking down the wood and returning those nutrients to the soil.
Delicious mushroom in moderation!
Too much of a good thing will lead to hours of toilet time!
