Pterula

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 Lentaria. Lentaria and Multiclavula lack the skeletal hyphae characteristic of Pterula.
Several species in New Zealand, taxonomically poorly understood. Only those species listed below have been treated in the Virtual Mycota.
