Notes: this fungus is characterized by pale brown colours and cream cauliflower like branch tips. Ramaria species are difficult to resolve, even with full microscopic details. The overall appearance resembles R. zipellii but sequencing data while confirming Ramaria does not place it close to R. zipellii. Probably undescribed.
