Artomyces pyxidatus (crown tipped coral fungus)
Eastgate Park, Meridian Township, Michigan
An interesting and totally unexpected find on a late afternoon walk along a familiar path, especially since I decide to take along a medium telephoto lens and leave the strobe at home.
Artomyces pyxidatus is a wood decay fungus found in hardwood and mixed wood forests. It is generally referred to as a crown tipped coral fungus or antler fungus. It is reported as common although I have never seen it before. It is also reported to be edible, but have some cathartic effects.
