Fungus. Grows in forests. Spore print white. Lives in symbiosis with tree roots: the fungus brings water and minerals, the tree feeds it sugars.

There are 39 observations of White coral jelly fungus in Québec, mostly in Outaouais, Montréal and Montérégie, and it has been reported in 7 of the 17 regions. They peak in August and become rare from October to June.
