Lycolgala epidendrum is a somwhat bizzare looking thing. It is described in my book as "a mass of naked protoplams, usually on dead wood, maturing to a light grey-brown, breaking open to expose minute dry fruit bodies enclosing powdery spores." I really don't think I can add anything more to that other than to say it looks quite painful!
Is it edible? Well, would you fancy it if it was?
