Club Fungi
The clavarioid fungi are a group of fungi in the Basidiomycota typically having erect, simple or branched basidiocarps (fruit bodies) that are formed on the ground, on decaying vegetation, or on dead wood. They are colloquially called club fungi and coral fungi. Originally such fungi were referred to the genus '' Clavaria'' ("clavarioid" means ''Clavaria''-like), but it is now known that clavarioid species are not all closely related. Since they are often studied as a group, it is convenient to retain the informal (non-taxonomic) name of "clavarioid fungi" and this term is frequently used in research papers. History ''Clavaria'' was one of the original genera created by Linnaeus in his ''Species Plantarum'' of 1753. It contained all species of fungi with erect, club-shaped or branched (coral-like) fruit bodies, including many that are now referred to the Ascomycota. Subsequent authors described over 1200 species in the genus. With increasing use of the microscope in the late ninet ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Clavaria Zollingeri 90973
''Clavaria'' is a genus of fungi in the family Clavariaceae. Species of ''Clavaria'' produce basidiocarps (fruit bodies) that are either cylindrical to club-shaped or branched and coral-like. They are often grouped with similar-looking species from other genera, when they are collectively known as the clavarioid fungi. All ''Clavaria'' species are terrestrial and most (if not all) are believed to be saprotrophic (decomposing dead plant material). In Europe, they are typical of old, mossy, unimproved grassland. In North America and elsewhere, they are more commonly found in woodlands. History ''Clavaria'' (the name is derived from the Latin "clava", a club) was first introduced as a genus name by Sébastien Vaillant, Vaillant (1727), later accepted by Pier Antonio Micheli, Micheli (1729), and was one of the original genera used by Carl Linnaeus, Linnaeus in his ''Species Plantarum'' of 1753. It contained all species of fungi with erect, club-shaped or branched (coral-like) sporoca ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Alloclavaria
''Alloclavaria'' is a clavarioid genus in the Hymenochaetales recently segregated from '' Clavaria'' by molecular analysis. Phylogenetically related fungi are in the agaricoid genera '' Rickenella'', '' Contumyces'', '' Gyroflexus'', '' Loreleia'', '' Cantharellopsis'' and '' Blasiphalia'', as well as the stipitate stereoid genera '' Cotylidia'' and '' Muscinupta''. The only species as yet placed in ''Alloclavaria'' is the type, formerly known as ''Clavaria purpurea'' under which name it is often cited or illustratehttp://www.funet.fi/pub/sci/bio/life/fungi/basidiomycotina/cantharellales/clavariaceae/clavaria/purpurea-1.jpg]. It is suspected, via circumstantial evidence, i.e. habitat, but not proven, that ''Alloclavaria'' is mycorrhizal. Etymology Alloclavaria means "the other ''Clavaria''", a reference to the fact it was segregated from ''Clavaria'' which was shown to be a member of the Agaricales through phylogenetic analysis of the DNA Deoxyribonucleic acid (; DNA) i ...

Scytinopogon
''Trechispora'' is a genus of fungi in the family Hydnodontaceae. Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are variously corticioid (effused, patch-forming) or clavarioid (branched and coral-like) with spore-bearing surfaces that are variously smooth to hydnoid or poroid. The genus occurs worldwide, though individual species may be localized. Around 50 species have been described to date. Taxonomy ''Trechispora'' was introduced in 1890 by Finnish mycologist Petter Karsten to describe a fragile, effused fungus with a poroid hymenium and small, spiny basidiospores. His type and only species, ''T. onusta'', is now known to be a synonym of the earlier name ''Polyporus hymenocystis'' (= '' Trechispora hymenocystis''). Additional species with a similar micromorphology have subsequently been added to the genus. The genus ''Scytinopogon'' was introduced by Rolf Singer in 1945 to accommodate tropical and subtropical fungi with clavarioid basidiocarps having flattened branches and producing sma ...

Description The genus ''Multiclavula'' includes basidiolichen fungi known for their small, clavarioid (club-shaped) fruiting bodies, typically reaching up to 3 cm in height and 2 mm in thickness. These structures are generally either unbranched or have sparse branches and come in colours ranging from white to various shades of straw, ochre, or orange. The texture of these fruiting bodies is tough when fresh but becomes brittle once dry. Internally, the fungi consist of contextual hyphae, w ...

Ertzia
''Ertzia'' is a monospecific genus in the family Lepidostromataceae (the only family within the fungal order Lepidostromatales). The sole species is ''Ertzia akagerae'', a basidiolichen. The genus was circumscribed in 2014 by Brendan Hodkinson and Robert Lücking. ''Ertzia'' is distinguished from all other lichenized clavarioid fungi (''Multiclavula'' (''Cantharellales''), ''Lepidostroma'' ('' Lepidostromatales''), and ''Sulzbacheromyces'' ('' Lepidostromatales'')) by having a microsquamulose thallus that forms contiguous glomerules (reminiscent of a ' Botrydina-type' thallus) with a cortex of jigsaw puzzle-shaped cells. ''Ertzia akagerae'' grows on soil in the African tropics. Taxonomy The genus ''Ertzia'' was established by Brendan P. Hodkinson and Robert Lücking in 2014, with ''E. akagerae'' as its type, and only, species. The genus name honours the lichenologist Damien Ertz for his important contributions to the understanding of lichenized fungi evolution and classi ...

Clavulina
''Clavulina'' is a genus of fungus in the family Clavulinaceae, in the Cantharelloid clade (order Cantharellales). Species are characterized by having extensively branched fruit bodies, white spore prints, and bisterigmate basidia (often with secondary septation). Branches are cylindrical or flattened, blunt, and pointed or crested at the apex, hyphae with or without clamps, basidia cylindrical to narrowly clavate, mostly with two sterigmata which are large and strongly incurved and spores subspherical or broadly ellipsoid, smooth, and thin-walled, each with one large oil drop or guttule. The genus contains approximately forty-five species with a worldwide distribution, primarily in tropical The tropics are the regions of Earth surrounding the equator, where the sun may shine directly overhead. This contrasts with the temperate or polar regions of Earth, where the Sun can never be directly overhead. This is because of Earth's ax ... regions. File:Clavulina cinerea 447865 ...
