Clavulina tepurumenga is a species of fungus in the family Clavulinaceae. Found in Guyana, it was described as new to science in 2010. [1]
The Clavulinaceae are a family of fungi in the order Cantharellales. The family is not well defined, but currently comprises species of clavarioid fungi as well as some corticioid fungi. These species are nutritionally diverse, some being ectomycorrhizal, others wood-rotting saprotrophs, others lichenized, and yet others lichenicolous.
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
Ramariopsis kunzei is an edible species of coral fungi in the family Clavariaceae, and the type species of the genus Ramariopsis. It is commonly known as white coral because of the branched structure of the fruit bodies that resemble marine coral. The fruit bodies are up to 5 cm (2.0 in) tall by 4 cm (1.6 in) wide, with numerous branches originating from a short rudimentary stem. The branches are one to two millimeters thick, smooth, and white, sometimes with yellowish tips in age. Ramariopsis kunzei has a widespread distribution, and is found in North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia.
The clavarioid fungi are a group of fungi in the Basidiomycota typically having erect, simple or branched basidiocarps that are formed on the ground, on decaying vegetation, or on dead wood. They are colloquially called club fungi and coral fungi.
Clavaria zollingeri, commonly known as the violet coral or the magenta coral, is a widely distributed species of fungus. It produces striking tubular, purple to pinkish-violet fruit bodies that grow up to 10 cm (3.9 in) tall and 7 cm (2.8 in) wide. The extreme tips of the fragile, slender branches are usually rounded and brownish. A typical member of the clavarioid or club fungi, Clavaria zollingeri is saprobic, and so derives nutrients by breaking down organic matter. The fruit bodies are typically found growing on the ground in woodland litter, or in grasslands. Variations in branching and color can often be used to distinguish C. zollingeri from similarly colored coral fungi such as Alloclavaria purpurea and Clavulina amethystina, although microscopy is required to reliably identify the latter species.
Clavulina floridana is a species of fungus in the family Clavulinaceae. It was originally described by Rolf Singer as Clavaria floridana in 1945, then E.J.H. Corner transferred it to Clavulina in 1950.
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 amazonensis is a species of fungus in the family Clavulinaceae. Found in South America, it was described by British mycologist E.J.H. Corner in 1970.
Clavulina griseohumicola is a species of fungus in the family Clavulinaceae. Described as new to science in 2005, it occurs in Guyana.
Clavulina humicola is a species of coral fungus in the family Clavulinaceae. It occurs in Guyana.
Clavulina kunmudlutsa is a species of coral fungus in the family Clavulinaceae. It is known only from Guyana. The specific epithet kunmudlutsa is the vernacular name applied to this fungus by the Patamona people, who collect it as an edible species.
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.
Clavulina rugosa, commonly known as the wrinkled coral fungus, is a species of coral fungus in the family Clavulinaceae. It is edible.
Clavulina sprucei is a species of coral fungus in the family Clavulinaceae. It is known from Guyana and Brazil.
Clavulina is a genus of aggulinated benthic foraminiferans with an elongate test. The early stage is triserial and triangular in section, the later stage uniserial and rectilinear, with angular to rounded section. In some species agglutinated walls have considerable calcareous cement. Septa are secondarily doubled as a result of imperforate floors, which are added as new chambers are formed. Walls contain fine bifurcating canaliculi within, openings of which are sealed internally by an inner organic lining, and externally by the imperforate surface layer of the wall. The aperture is interiomarginal in the early triserial stage, terminal and rounded in the adult.
