Physalacriaceae Corner 1999
fungi family in the order agaricales
The Physalacriaceae are a family of fungi in the order Agaricales. Species in the family have a widespread distribution, ranging from the Arctic, (Rhizomarasmius), to the tropics, e.g. Gloiocephala, and from marine sites (Mycaureola) and fresh waters (Gloiocephala) to semiarid forests (Xerula).
Ramariopsis (Donk) Corner 1950
fungi genus in the clavariaceae family
Ramariopsis is a genus of coral fungi in the family Clavariaceae. The genus has a collectively widespread distribution and contains about 40 species. The name means 'having the appearance of Ramaria'.
Clavulinopsis fusiformis (Golden Spindles) (Sowerby) Corner 1950
fungi species in the clavariaceae family
Clavulinopsis fusiformis is a clavarioid fungus in the family Clavariaceae. In the UK, it has been given the recommended English name of golden spindles. In North America it has also been called spindle-shaped yellow coral or golden fairy spindle. It was originally described from England and is part of an unresolved species complex. Clavulinopsis fusiformis forms cylindrical, bright yellow fruit bodies that grow in dense clusters on the ground in agriculturally unimproved grassland or in woodland litter.
Pterulaceae Corner 1970
fungi family in the order agaricales
The Pterulaceae are a family of fungi in the order Agaricales. According to a 2008 estimate, the family contained 99 species previously distributed among 12 genera. More recent data from molecular phylogenetic reconstruction showed that members of the genus Parapterulicium are unrelated to Pterulaceae and also polyphyletic. A new genus Baltazaria was created and both genera were moved to Russulales, to families Lachnocladiaceae and Peniophoraceae respectively. A major reappraisal of Pterulaceae was recently published by Leal-Dutra et al., creating the new genus Myrmecopterula, to encompass

fungi species in the clavariaceae family
Clavulinopsis corniculata is a clavarioid fungus in the family Clavariaceae. In the UK, it has the recommended English name of meadow coral.

Ramariopsis kunzei (Ivory Coral) (Fr.) Corner 1950
edible fungi species in the clavariaceae family
Ramariopsis kunzei is an edible species of coral fungi in the family Clavariaceae, and the type species of the genus Ramariopsis. It is commonly known as white coral because of the branched structure of the fruit bodies that resemble marine coral. The fruit bodies are up to 5 cm (2 in) tall by 4 cm (1+1⁄2 in) wide, with numerous branches originating from a short rudimentary stem. The branches are one to two millimeters thick, smooth, and white, sometimes with yellowish tips in age. Ramariopsis kunzei has a widespread distribution, and is found in North America, Eurasia, and Australia.
Aphelariaceae Corner 1970
fungi family in the order cantharellales

Clavariadelphaceae Corner 1970
fungi family in the order gomphales
The Clavariadelphaceae are a family of fungi belonging in what is classically known as the Gomphales order, or cladistically as the gomphoid-phalloid clade. First described by British botanist E.J.H. Corner in 1970, the family has 2 genera and 26 species.
Ramariopsis pulchella (Lilac Coral) (Boud.) Corner 1950

Hormomitaria Corner 1950
fungi genus in the physalacriaceae family
Physalacria is a genus of fungi in the family Physalacriaceae. The genus contains 30 species widely distributed in tropical regions of the Southern Hemisphere.
Ramaria subbotrytis (Coker) Corner 1950
fungi species in the gomphaceae family
Ramaria subbotrytis is a species of coral fungus in the family Gomphaceae. It was previously classified in the family Ramariaceae, and before that in the genus Clavaria, family Clavariaceae. It was originally described as Clavaria subbotrytis by William Chambers Coker in 1923 from collections made in North Carolina. E.J.H. Corner transferred it to the genus Ramaria in 1950. Ramaria subbotrytis accumulates arsenic and besides arsenic species known to be found in macrofungi, such as arsenobetaine, contains a very unusual organoarsenic compound homoarsenocholine. It grows in association with
Mucronella flava Corner 1953
fungi species in the clavariaceae family
Mucronella flava is a species of fungus in the family Clavariaceae. It was originally described by English mycologist E. J. H. Corner in 1953. The teeth are 2–4 millimetres (1⁄16–3⁄16 in) long and grow in clumps 1–5 centimetres (1⁄2–2 in) across; dozens to hundreds of teeth can be found together. It may require microscopy to distinguish from M. pulchra. Phlebia aurea and P. uda are also similar. It grows on or under conifer logs in North America (on the West Coast and in the northeast).
Mucronella bresadolae (Quél.) Corner 1970
fungi species in the clavariaceae family
Mucronella bresadolae is a species of fungus in the family Clavariaceae. It was originally described by French mycologist Lucien Quélet in 1888 as Clavaria bresadolae. E.J.H. Corner transferred it to the genus Mucronella in 1970. It is found in Europe and North America.
Lentaria Corner 1950
fungi genus in the lentariaceae family
Lentaria is a genus of fungi in the family Lentariaceae. The genus has a widespread distribution and contains 17 species. It was circumscribed by British mycologist Edred John Henry Corner in 1950. Many members are important decomposers in forest ecosystems. Samples of the genus were collected in China and studies using molecular and morphological methods. Five of the species collected were described as new species. Species of Phaeoclavulina and Ramaria may appear similar.
Clavulinopsis umbrinella (Beige Coral) (Sacc.) Corner 1950
fungi species in the clavariaceae family
Clavulinopsis umbrinella, commonly known as the beige coral, is a coral mushroom in the family Clavariaceae. Fruit bodies are initially white before turning pale brown with darker brown tips. Originally described in 1860, it is known to occur in Europe and North America where it grows in grass. It is not a common species.

Wakefieldia Corner & Hawker 1953
fungi genus in the boletaceae family
Wakefieldia is a genus of two species of fungi, generally thought to belong in the family Boletaceae, but a recent molecular study has shown that Wakefieldia macrospora is in fact not related to Boletales and belongs to family Hymenogastraceae.
Strobilomyces foveatus Corner 1972
fungi species in the boletaceae family
Strobilomyces foveatus is a little-known species of fungus in the family Boletaceae. It was first reported by mycologist E.J.H. Corner in 1972, from specimens he collected in Malaysia in 1959, and has since been found in Australia. Fruit bodies are characterized by the small dark brown to black conical scales covering the cap, and the net-like pattern of ridges on the upper stem. The roughly spherical spores measure about eight micrometres, and are densely covered with slender conical spines. The edibility of this species is unknown.

Pterulicium Corner 1950
fungi genus in the pterulaceae family
Pterulicium is a genus of fungi in the Pterulaceae family. The genus was previously monotypic, containing the single species Pterulicium xylogenum, found in southeast Asia. However in 2020 a major reclassification of the Pterulaceae family occurred based on phylogenetic analysis and the Pterula genus was split into Pterula, Myrmecopterula, Pterulicium and Phaeopterula by the mycologists Caio A. Leal-Dutra, Bryn Tjader Mason Dentinger and Gareth W. Griffith.
