Taxonomy

History

Clavariaceae was originally

genera of clavarioid fungi.[3][4] Corner included three genera in his concept of the Clavariaceae: Clavaria, Clavulinopsis, and Ramariopsis.[3]

Current status

agarics (gilled mushrooms) in the genera Camarophyllopsis,[5] Hodophilus,[6] and Lamelloclavaria.[7] The clavarioid genera Clavicorona,[8][9] Hirticlavula,[8] and a revised concept of Ceratellopsis[9] are also included, as is the hydnoid genus Mucronella[8][9] and the corticioid genus Hyphodontiella.[10]

Habitat and distribution

The family has a worldwide distribution, though many individual species are more localized. Basidiocarps of Hirticlavula, Hyphodontiella, and Mucronella occur on dead wood and are thus normally found in woodland. Species of the remaining genera may also be found in woodland, but in Europe are more typical of old, agriculturally unimproved waxcap grasslands.

Ecology

biotrophic, a few forming associations with ericaceous plants.[11][12]
