Lentaria

Notes

Branched, upright fruiting bodies on wood. Other branched coral fungi on wood are Multiclavula, Clavicorona (crown-shaped branching pattern at tips of branches) and Pterula. Pterula and Multiclavula are dimitic, with skeletal hyphae in the fruiting body. Multiclavula has ellipsoid rather than broad-cylindric spores.
