Another conditionally edible mushroom. Its fruiting body is somewhat different from the antlers. It has a branchy shape, and the height is very small, does not exceed one and a half cm. The thickness is also minimal, about 0.5 mm. Fruit bodies grow both alone and grow together into a single mass at the very base. However, no branching is observed. As for the color of the entire fruiting body, it has a yellow tint. At the same time, in old specimens it fades noticeably, reaching a dirty orange hue. The consistency itself is quite rubbery.
