Clavariadelphus ligula

Habitat

Grows in coniferous forest on the ground usually under Spruce. They like to grow in moss at higher elevations.

Description

Grows on the ground. There are typically hundreds of them. Clavariadelphus ligula are very common in troops. They're not really worth collecting as an edible in my opinion. Careful not to confuse with Spathularia species which are more fan shaped, veiny looking and poisonous.
