The genus Phaeoclavulina comprises over 60 species of coral fungi.
Description
Basidiocarps may range in color from bright yellow, to ochre, orange or shades of tan. The spores of Phaeoclavulina species are ochre-brown in mass deposit and are echinulate (covered with small spines).
Distribution
Phaeoclavulina species range from tropical to temperate regions. They are more abundant in the tropics and subtropics. Many Phaeoclavulina species have a cosmopolitan distribution.[1]
History
- The genus was proposed in 1897 to accommodate coral fungi with spiny spores.[2]
- The genus has been expanded in 2011 to include certain species formerly classified in Gomphus and Ramaria genera. After that, the genus Phaeoclavulina included 41 species.[3]
- Between 2018 and 2022, 15 new species were described from Italy, Mexico, and China.[4]
- P. bicolor, P. echinoflava, P. jilinensis, P. aurantilaeta, and P. yunnanensis were described in 2024 from China.[4][5][6]
- P. aeruginea & P. cinnamomea were described in 2025 from Hunan Province, China.[7]
