Ramaria sp
(Yellow Ramaria, Ramaria largentii)

Habitat

Grows in the woods on the ground at high elevations under spruce often in large arcs or fairy rings.

Description

They remind me of cauliflower especially when cut. They are often abundant but very fragile and often full of dirt. They are said to have laxative effects for some people but I haven't experienced it. It's a good idea to only sample them in moderation and not eat too many in one sitting. It's best to avoid any pink or reddish Ramaria's as they could be slightly toxic. We likely have several different species of yellow Ramaria in Colorado. Any with gelatinous or bluing bases should also be avoided.
