Looks like one of the Ramarias (I'm no expert - simply got a book with
pictures!). AKA Fairy Clubs or Upright Coral Fungus. Possibly R.
stricta, which my book says grows on decayed stumps and buried
branches. Did a branch get buried there, in the past?

yep. coral fungus. Grows on *dead* wood. Harmless IIRC. Some people say
its edible, but there is not a lot of meat on it.
