I believe this is edible, but I've never picked any.
it must be one of the mushrooms from the "edible but insignificant" category :)
Forest pasta! Is it how people got the idea to invent the mass produced one? Next, you'd say there is a fungi shaped like an alphabet soup that inspired people to use letters.
Hey cool! I found some of this too and took a picture but never did the ID. Thanks!

Looks more like Clavulinopsis corniculata to me. Ramaria are usually aren't so brightly-colored in my experience but corals in general are really hard.
Edit: I looked it up and there's a couple Ramaria that can be sort of this color but I still think these are a little on the small/sparse side. I'm just gonna say corals are hard again.
I was actually debating this myself. After posting I came up with Calocera viscosa as a possibility, but I don't know enough to say for certain. Thanks for the input, these are fascinatingly similar.
Calocera was another thought, did you touch it? Calocera are jellies so they're soft and flexible while Clavulinopsis is brittle and Ramaria are more dense and fleshy.
