Golden coral fungus

Golden coral fungus is a distinctive mushroom that looks exactly how its name suggests. The bright yellow branching stems and small caps resemble golden coral reefs. However, the color fades to a darker brown as the fungus ages. Golden coral fungus can be spotted in mixed and deciduous hardwood forests.
