Clavaria – מילון אנגלי-אנגלי
Clavaria
Clavaria is a
genus of
fungi in the family
Clavariaceae. Species of
Clavaria produce
basidiocarps (fruit bodies) that are either cylindrical to club-shaped or branched and coral-like. They are often grouped with similar-looking species from other genera, when they are collectively known as the
clavarioid fungi. All
Clavaria species are terrestrial and most (if not all) are believed to be
saprotrophic (decomposing dead plant material). In Europe, they are typical of old, mossy, unimproved grassland. In North America and elsewhere, they are more commonly found in woodlands.
