Slide 53.
Ramaria rubrievanescens is a similar and similarly choice
species with a nutty taste that is distinguished by having branch tips
that rapidly loose their pinkish coloration as they elongate in age, become
first white and then cardboard color. In age there are countless Ramaria
species with which Ramaria rubrievanescens could be confused.
Besides, Ramarias are best eaten when young, while the branches are still
short and stubby. Once the branches have elongated, I leave Ramarias to
reproduce and to delight others who may happen upon them.
