Clavulina cristata, commonly known as the wrinkled coral fungus, white coral fungus or the crested coral fungus, is a white- or light-colored edible coral mushroom present in temperate areas of the Americas and Europe. It is the type species of the genus Clavulina.
Clavulina is a genus of fungus in the family Clavulinaceae, in the Cantharelloid clade. Species are characterized by having extensively branched fruit bodies, white spore prints, and bisterigmate basidia. 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 regions. Species of Clavulina are mostly ectomycorrhizal. A recent study has identified Clavulina to the genera level as present on Nothofagus menziesii adventitious roots
Nothoclavulina is a genus of fungus in the family Tricholomataceae. The genus is monotypic, containing the single species Nothoclavulina ditopa, described by American mycologist Rolf Singer in 1970. The species, found in Argentina, is an anamorphic version of the genus Arthrosporella. The generic name Nothoclavulina is Latin for "false Clavulina".

Clavulina dicymbetorum is a species of coral fungus in the family Clavulinaceae. Described as new to science in 2005, it occurs in Guyana.
Clavulina craterelloides is a species of coral fungus in the family Clavulinaceae. Known only from Guyana, it was described in 2004. The fruit bodies are large, orange-brown in color, and funnel-shaped, occurring in groves of Dicymbe trees.
Clavulina cinerea, commonly known as the gray coral or ashy coral mushroom, is a species of coral fungus in the family Clavulinaceae. This grayish white edible fungus stands 2–10 cm tall, and can be found on the ground from July–October in Northeastern North America.
Clavulina caespitosa is a species of coral fungus in the family Clavulinaceae. Found in Guyana, it was described as new to science in 2005.
Clavulina amethystinoides is a species of fungus in the family Clavulinaceae. It was originally named Clavaria amethystinoides by American mycologist Charles Horton Peck in 1907; E.J.H. Corner transferred it to Clavulina in 1950.

Clavulina humicola is a species of coral fungus in the family Clavulinaceae. It occurs in Guyana.
Clavulina mussooriensis is a species of coral fungus in the family Clavulinaceae. Fruit bodies, which measure up to 8 by 4.5 cm, grow either solitarily, in groups, or in clusters in soil. The type species was collected in a cedar forest in India. The species resembles Clavulina cinerea, but differs in its brown color and emergent hyphae.
Clavulina nigricans is a species of coral fungus in the family Clavulinaceae. It produces large, highly branched black fruit bodies that measure 12–19 cm (4.7–7.5 in) tall by 9–13.5 cm (3.5–5.3 in) wide. It is found only in Guyana.
Clavulina ornatipes is a species of coral fungus in the family Clavulinaceae. First described as Clavaria ornatipes by Charles Horton Peck in 1908, it was transferred to Clavulina by E.J.H. Corner in 1950.
