Sparassis crispa Clavariaceae (Coral Fungi) Family |
| This is an eastern species which is much more flattened and has short branches and somewhat larger spores. Clauliflower Fungus is common under pine trees or broad-leaved trees in bottom swamp lands. Its body is 6-8 inches high and about 6 inches thick; fleshy white to yellowish in color. The plant consists of a series of branches with flattened tips; not easily broken when touched. Its conspicuous cauliflower-like appearance makes the species a distinctive fungus. |
