Artomyces pyxidatus is a coral fungus that is commonly called crown coral or crown-tipped coral fungus. Its most characteristic feature is the crown-like shape of the tips of its branches. The epithet pyxidatus means "box-like"—a reference to this shape.[1]

Artomyces pyxidatus can be observed throughout Northern Canada during the growing season. In Britain, it was recorded in 2011, almost 116 years after its previous reliable report, a collection made by mycologist Carleton Reale on 20 October 1886. Two subsequent records have been provided in Britain since 2011; one by Yvonne Davidson in Kent in 2018, and one by Cameron Ambler in East Sussex in 2021. Found in Kent in 2023[2] It is widespread but uncommon in Western Europe. They are also widely found in the pine forest of northeastern India, known as the "eight sisters of India."Шаблон:Citation needed

The fungus produces its hard, coral-like fruiting bodies on decaying wood. The colour ranges from cream to semi-tan.[3] The branches rise in ringlike arrangements resembling a crown.[3] Basidia and basidiospores are produced on the surfaces of the branches.

These fungi are considered edible when raw,[1] but are better cooked. The fungus are known to be served as meal amongst the tribal groups of Northeastern India since time immemorial.Шаблон:Citation needed It is best served when fried with chopped potatoes.[4] It is usually found in quantities too small to make a meal.[5]

The sesquiterpenes compounds pyxidatols A-C, tsuicoline E and omphadiol have been obtained from the liquid culture of this fungus.[6]

DNA evidence and microscopy indicates that the species is closely related to members of the genera Russula and Lentinellus, as well as Auriscalpium vulgare.[3] Other similar species include Clavulina avellanea, C. cristata, C. divaricata, C. piperata, and C. taxophila.[3]
