Alloclavaria is a clavarioid genus in the Hymenochaetales recently segregated from Clavaria by molecular analysis. [1] 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 . [2] The only species as yet placed in Alloclavaria is the type, formerly known as Clavaria purpurea under which name it is often cited or illustrated. . It is suspected, via circumstantial evidence, i.e. habitat, but not proven, that Alloclavaria is mycorrhizal.
