Lilac coral
Ramariopsis pulchella
A species of Ramariopsis.
With its appealing, subtle purple tones and diminutive, branching formations reminiscent of marine coral, the lilac coral is easily identifiable. This particular species flourishes in forested areas, frequently observed adorning the ground amidst fallen leaves and decaying timber. While visually distinct, lilac coral remains a relatively minor and inconspicuous component of its ecosystem.
