Monomad Challenge: Ramaria

I'll be submitting some macro shots of microscopic fungi for the current round of the #monomad contest.

Ramaria stricta, also known as the strict-branch coral, is a member of the genus Ramaria. Without a cap, this genus of cosmopolitan mushrooms has so many parallel branches that are compact and dense. There are other mushrooms with just a few branches that mimic deer antlers.

Capturing these mushrooms in their natural environment won't result in a nice background image. Therefore, I intentionally moved them to a mossy place so that they would seem beautiful and charming.
