Ramaria cystidiophora, commonly known as the fuzzy-footed coral, is a coral mushroom in the family Gomphaceae. It is in the Laeticolora subgenus of Ramaria.[2] The branches are yellow, sometimes brighter at the tips, growing from a fuzzy white stem.[2] The odour is sweet.[2]
While the species is relatively unlikely to be confused with another, several varieties exist – for instance var. anisata, which is of a peach hue.[2]
