Clavaria fragilis, commonly known as fairy fingers, white worm coral, or white spindles, is a species of fungus in the family Clavariaceae. It is synonymous with Clavaria vermicularis. 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. Clavaria fragilis is a saprobic species, growing in woodland litter or in

Ramaria gelatinosa, commonly known as the gelatinous coral, is a coral mushroom in the family Gomphaceae. It is found in Europe and North America. The species was first described by Theodor Holmskjold in 1790. The oregonensis variety, only reported from the Pacific Northwest, has translucent and gelatinous flesh and a yellow band on the top part of the stem. It can be found growing around fallen wood. It differs microscopically from var. gelatinosa. It is reportedly inedible, as are most gelatinous species of the genus for most people, and may be poisonous. Similar species including R.

Tarzetta catinus is a species of apothecial fungus belonging to the family Pyronemataceae. This is a largely European species with a few records from Mexico and the United States. It appears from spring to autumn as cream-coloured cups up to 5 cm across, usually in small groups among broad-leaved trees, especially beech. The rather similar Tarzetta cupularis is usually a smaller, deeper, flask-shaped cup, but the two species can only be reliably distinguished microscopically: by the shape of the spores (those of T. catinus being broader) and the paraphyses (those of T. catinus having
