Yellow Coral aggregate

There are many difficult-to-identify species with different ecology among the yellow coral fungi. They often grow in older stands with a long tree continuity, in old-growth forests that have never previously been clear-cut.

Yellow coral fungi are no longer recommended as edible mushrooms because the risk of confusion with similar inedible species is high. No dangerous organ-damaging toxins are known in the species of the genus, but some are regarded as mildly poisonous and can cause nausea.
