<i>Gomphus</i> (fungus) Genus of fungi

Gomphus is a genus of cantharelloid fungi in the family Gomphaceae. Once presumed to be related to chanterelles, molecular study has shown them to be allied with stinkhorns and fairy clubs. The type species of the genus is the pig's ear (G. clavatus).

<i>Gautieria monticola</i> Species of fungus

Gautieria monticola is a species of hypogeal fungus in the family Gomphaceae. It was described as new to science in 1884 by American mycologist Harvey Willson Harkness. It is nonpoisonous, but smells strongly of sour milk.

Gloeocantharellus is a genus of fungi in the family Gomphaceae. It contains 12 species that are found in mainly tropical and subtropical regions.

Pseudogomphus is a genus of fungi in the family Gomphaceae. A monotypic genus, it contains the single species Pseudogomphus fragilissimus, found in Gabon.

Ramaricium is a genus of fungi in the family Gomphaceae. The genus contains three species that collectively have a widespread distribution.

<i>Ramaria fennica</i> Species of fungus

Ramaria fennica, commonly known as the bitter coral, is a coral mushroom in the family Gomphaceae. It is found in Australia, Europe and North America.

<i>Ramaria gelatinosa</i> Species of fungus

Ramaria gelatinosa, commonly known as the gelatinous coral, is a coral mushroom in the family Gomphaceae. It is found in Europe and North America. The species was first described by Theodor Holmskjold in 1790.

<i>Turbinellus</i> Genus of fungi

Turbinellus is a genus of five species of fungi in the family Gomphaceae.

<i>Ramaria flavescens</i> Species of fungus

Ramaria flavescens is a species of coral fungus in the family Gomphaceae. It was first described as Clavaria flavescens by Jacob Christian Schäffer in 1762; American mycologist Ron Peterson transferred it to the genus Ramaria in 1974. The IUCN Red List labels this species as Critically Endangered in Denmark and as Data Deficient in the Czech Republic.

<i>Ramaria gracilis</i> Species of fungus

Ramaria gracilis is a species of coral fungus in the family Gomphaceae.

<i>Ramaria aurea</i> Species of fungus

Ramaria aurea is a coral mushroom in the family Gomphaceae. It is found in North America and Europe. It is similar to R. flava; both species are edible.

Turbinellus stereoides, previously known as Gomphus stereoides, is a mushroom in the family Gomphaceae. It was originally described in 1996 by E. J. H. Corner as a species of Gomphus. The type collection was made in 1930 in Slim River, Malaysia.

<i>Ramaria myceliosa</i> Species of fungus

Ramaria myceliosa is a species of coral fungus in the family Gomphaceae. Found in North America, it was originally described by Charles Horton Peck in 1904 with the name Clavaria myceliosa. The type was collected by botanist Edwin Bingham Copeland in the mountains near Stanford University in California. E.J.H. Corner transferred it to the genus Ramaria in 1950. Giachini and colleagues proposed that Ramaria myceliosa is the same species as the European Phaeoclavulina curta, but did not provide molecular evidence to support their suggested synonymy. In a recent (2014) publication on California fungi, the authors propose the transfer of Ramaria myceliosa to the genus Phaeoclavulina, but as of January 2016, this transfer has not been accepted by either MycoBank or Index Fungorum.

<i>Gloeocantharellus purpurascens</i> Species of fungus

Gloeocantharellus purpurascens, commonly known as the Indian Creek mushroom or violet-staining chanterelle, is a species of fungus in the family Gomphaceae native to North America and French Guiana.
