The fruiting body is shaped like a branched shrub, with cylindrical branches, pale pink-white to cream (violet at base and tips), stained with brown when ageing, without stem, but with a white to greyish yellow trunk. The flesh is white, brittle, unchanging; the odour is of beef broth. The fertile surface is smooth. It grows on the ground, in broad-leaved and coniferous woods, on a rather calcareous soil. The fruiting period takes place from August to October.
Distinctive features : branched; cream-white to light brown branches, with short lilac reddish-pink tips, V-shaped, longitudinally wrinkled Ramaria pallida is still unreported so far in the forest of Rambouillet, and is quite rare, more generally speaking .
