I believe this is edible, but I’ve never tasted one.
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.
Ramaria flava

merde@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago I believe this is edible, but I’ve never picked any.
it must be one of the mushrooms from the “edible but insignificant” category :)

Yours is different and definitely isn’t Ramaria, it’s a different shade of orange and has long club like protrusions that don’t branch as much. It almost looks like Cordyceps but they’re a little too smooth.
Maybe something similar to Clavulinopsis laeticolor.

Based on size and habit probably clavulinopsis fusiformis

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.

I was actually debating this myself. After posting I came up with Calocera viscosa as another possibility, but I can’t make my mind up. 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.
pretty! 🍄
