Hericium ramosum is an edible mushroom in the tooth fungus group. Although H. ramosum appears similar to H. coralloides, it's distinguishable by the growth pattern of its spines, which emerge exclusively from its branches, and are less than 1cm in length. Also, unlike H. coralloides, it grows on hardwood logs and stumps. H. ramosum resembles some other edible, North American Hericium species.
