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.

Excellent for eating.
I'm sorting old photos and uploading a few interesting ones. This image was uploaded to Flickr on Nov. 30, 2021.

Inside a coral tooth fungus - an increasingly large colony grows on a very old tree - the tree has been pushed over because (I assume) it posed a hazard. Fortunately the fungus continues to grow.

Close up of the frilly branchlets of comb tooth fungus. Might be hericium ramosum, or might be hericium coralloides. Either way, it is definitely of the genus Hericium, the comb tooth fungi.
Terrific find just today - coral-tooth fungus - several colonies on just one dead tree - Epping Forest.
This is another shot of the rare coral tooth fungus that graced Epping Forest in Essex, UK this autumn. A very beautiful thing and this is just one of about 10 separate colonies.
As I've been re-cataloging my photos within Lightroom, I've come across some that I never uploaded. This is one of those, probably because I've not been sure of the ID. I think it's a Coral Tooth Fungus (Hericium coralloides), but not positive. Found along the Franklin Falls Trail many moons ago.

I believe this is Coral Tooth Fungus (Hericium coralloides). Found along the Franklin Falls Trail.

This fungus is closely related to lion's mane (Hericium erinaceus). Like lion's mane, it is also edible, but I always enjoy finding this because of its beauty.
This is a focus stack of around 12 images, taken at night and illuminated by a small light panel.
Comb-tooth fungus, might be hericium ramosum, or might be hericium coralloides. Either way, it is definitely of the genus Hericium, the family of comb tooth fungi.

Hericium coralloides can be found as a solitary clump or in clustered clumps on dead hardwood logs and stumps, sometimes in huge patches that can be seen from quite some distance. It is recognized by its short (mostly about 1 cm long) spines, and the fact that the spines hang in rows along delicate branches. It is saprobic and possibly parasitic; growing alone or gregariously at summer and autumn. The fruiting body can be 8-30 cm in diameter, fleshy, white at first, light brown or yellowish with age, a few main branches arising from the narrow base, every main branch sending forth numerous smaller branches, on which dense and crowded spines hang in rows.
This is one of my favourite edible fungi. To me it tastes like steak. After finding several in the woods around our cottage a few years back, I haven't seen one recently. The hands in the photo are mine. The photo was taken by my partner, Danny Ouellette.
