Salmon Coral, Yellow-tipped Coral
A coral fungus with a thick base and pinkish branches tipped yellow, widely regarded as mildly poisonous. True R. formosa is a European species associated with beech; North American collections under this name are considered different species.
Poisonous. Eating it causes acute gastrointestinal illness: nausea, vomiting, colicky abdominal pain and diarrhea. The toxin is unknown. Some sources say it is edible with the tips removed, but this is not recommended. Avoid eating pink, salmon or yellow-tipped corals unless identified microscopically.
