Dark Light
Strict-branch Coral
Ramaria stricta

I’m not 100% sure of this i.d. For a while I thought it was Clavulina cristata (white coral fungus) but that fungus to me has really wavy “arms” whereas the photos below the “arms” are straight vertical. There a lot of similar species, so I could be wrong about this one.

Size: Up to 10cm tall
Family: Gomphaceae 
Habitat: Grows on dead wood, stumps, trunks and branches of deciduous and coniferous trees. 
Identifiers: Multiple slender, compact and vertical parallel branches. Color, dark cream/light tan to brownish.

Who knew chanterelles came in bright cinnamon red color? I didn't! These little teeny chanterelles may be small, but usually where you find one, you find many more.

Concentric stripes of tan, brown, buff, cinnamon make this polypore mushroom easy to spot (and it's also one of the most common fungi in North American forest).
