Violet-banded coral fungus is distinguished by its unique, vibrant purple bands that contrast with its otherwise darker hues. It typically grows in clusters with branched, coral-like structures reaching upward. This species prefers to establish itself in coniferous forests, often forming symbiotic relationships with the trees' roots. Despite its striking appearance, its presence is often a subtle addition to the forest floor.
