Ramaria stricta, commonly known as the strict-branch coral or strict coral mushroom, is a coral fungus of the genus Ramaria. Its fruit body is up to 10 cm (4 in) tall, made of multiple slender, compact, and vertical parallel branches. Its color is typically light tan to vinaceous-brown. All parts of the mushroom bruise when handled. There are several lookalikes that can usually be distinguished from R. stricta by differences in coloration, bruising reaction, or microscopic features.
