Coral Tooth Fungus (Hericium coralloides)

Coral Tooth Fungus on the trunck of a dying Birch Tree along the Tamarack Nature Trail in the Hersey Lake Conservation Area located in Tisdale Township in the City of Timmins in Northeastern Ontario Canada

 

Like all species from the genus Herecium, the coral tooth (Herecium coralloides) is a decomposer, growing on dead wood. It often occurs in large masses on tree trunks of deciduous trees like beech. In principle it is edible, but not special in terms of taste.
