Cauliflower mushroom or spring coral? The color is throwing me off and makes me wonder if its a spring coral....

Found at base of pine tree.

I found something similar in the South Bay - posted to MO and got a few people speculating. The observation has pics of two specimens, and there is a third that I've not checked on. Not sure if it is the same as yours.

Sauté and freeze any you don't eat right away
Slice... Sauté and eat on toast... Salt and pepper or herbs
Holds up well in stews and soups

One of my favorite mushrooms.... If you go back next year, probably grow in the same place!

They are a lot easier to clean if you break the fruiting body down into smaller usable pieces. And yes its S. radicata on the west coast although there is some talk that it might be the same as S. crispa

It's a cauliflower mushroom

Slice and wash

Doesn't loose flavor being washed...
