They are colloquially called club fungi and coral fungi. Originally such fungi were referred to the genus Clavaria ("clavarioid" means Clavaria-like), but it is now known that clavarioid species are not all closely related. Since they are often studied as a group, it is convenient to retain the informal (non-taxonomic) name of "clavarioid fungi ...
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.

Originally the family contained most of the clavarioid fungi (club and coral fungi), but in its current sense is more restricted, albeit with a greater diversity of basidiocarp (fruit body) forms. Basidiocarps are variously clavarioid or agaricoid (mushroom-shaped), less commonly corticioid (effused, crust-like) or hydnoid (with pendant spines).
Clavariadelphus is a genus of club fungi in the family Clavariadelphaceae. The genus has a widespread distribution in temperate areas, and contains an estimated 19 species. [1] The name might mean uterus-shaped club, from the Latin clava meaning club and the Greek delphus meaning uterus.
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.
