Ramaria rubripermanens is one of many Ramaria species
with branch tips that are pale to distinctly wine-red when young. Ramaria
rubripermanens is distinguished by retaining the wine-red coloration
as the branches elongate. It fruits in the Cascades and Rocky Mountains.
I have not often seen it when young and in prime edible condition. This
specimen was huge and made a delightful nutty tasting meal.
