Hericium coralloides
A tier
Hericium coralloides is coral tooth—finely branched white spines like underwater coral, delicate texture, mild flavour. Beautiful wild edible when correctly ID’d. Brief sauté to keep structure; elegant plating. More fragile than thick pom-pom erinaceus. Forager’s specialty.
