The fungus is the type species of the genus Clavaria and is a typical member of the clavarioid or club fungi. It produces tubular, unbranched, white basidiocarps (fruit bodies) that typically grow in clusters. The fruit bodies can reach dimensions of 15 cm (6 in) tall by 0.5 cm (1 ⁄ 4 in) thick. There are several similar coral-like fungi.
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. [4] The name Clavaria was also used for a group of red algae in the Gelidiaceae family of the Rhodophyta by Stackhouse in 1816. [5]
Although many people have a fear of mushroom poisoning by "toadstools", only a small number of the many macroscopic fruiting bodies commonly known as mushrooms and toadstools have proven fatal to humans. This list is not exhaustive and does not contain many fungi that, although not deadly, are still harmful.
Since 2023, Rockefeller and Mandie Quark, in cooperation with the indigenous Sacha-Wasi people, have been working to catalog Ecuadorian fungi species. [13] Rockefeller was one of the taxonomists who first described Psilocybe allenii and he "recently co-authored a 2020 publication characterizing five Psilocybe species."
Ampulloclitocybe clavipes, commonly known as the club-foot or club-footed clitocybe, is a species of gilled mushroom from Europe and North America. The grey brown mushrooms have yellowish decurrent gills and a bulbous stalk, and are found in deciduous and conifer woodlands.
The mat and wrinkled fruiting body has the shape of a club with a rounded top. Its length varies between 10 and 30 centimetres (4 and 12 in) and its width between 1 and 5 cm ( 1 ⁄ 2 and 2 in). The skin is red brown to ocher red, sometimes cinnamon brown with a lilac tint, turning brown when damaged.
