Fascinating Fungi

Features to note when describing Ramarias, Clavarias and other Coralloid fungi

7/12/2014

Ramaria fungi are coral-like mushrooms with multiple branches. Their spores are ochre-yellow to brown-tinted and are ornamented with warts, striations or spines.   Clavarias have white spores  and do not branch multiple times.

According to Geoffrey Young  of Queensland Mycological society,
of probably 100 Australian Ramaria species, only nineteen have published scientific descriptions.


Currently, FungiOz app includes 17 Australian Ramarias, most of which are unidentified. 

Apparently many herbarium samples do not include adequate descriptions of macro features that can aid identification.
    Adding  photos and descriptions  of identifying characteristics to face-book posts of Ramaria  fungi would therefore be more helpful than a single photo of the whole fungi.

 
Important observable features include colour details, the shapes of the apices and branch axils, the texture of branches and whether or not there are  rizomorphs  or aborted branches that have not developed.    A reasonably detailed recording sheet for describing macro features of Ramaria species can be found here.


 Below are examples of just some  of the characteristics  that can differ in  Ramaria  Clavaria, Aphalaria  and other types of Coralloid fungi

Some Types of Apices in Coralloid fungi

Picture
Spachulate apices - fIattened as in Aphelaria sp

Picture
Dichotomous and rounded

Picture
Flat - topped, blunt

Picture
Cuspidate- Multiple bumps like chewing teeth

Picture
Dichotomous (double headed)
and awl shaped, pointy

Picture
Dichotomous spines

Some Types of Coralloid fungi branch surfaces and axils

Picture
Rugose, knobbly and contorted surface

Picture
Vertical branches with a powdery surface and  acuteIy angled axils

Picture
Antler-like stems and apices

Picture
Lobed rather than branched

Picture
 Vertically striated branches with lines extending down from the axils.

Picture
Rounded axils and smooth branches

Picture
Aborted branches on the main stalk

    Australian Fungi

    Australia is estimated to have 200,000 fungi species compared with only 6,000 European.  However, only about 12,000 Australian mushrooms have been identified  with  about 6,000 named and described. This website and Fungioz app are dedicated to  increasing knowledge of both known and unidentified Australian mushrooms.

     About Me

    I am not a mycologist  but have been fascinated by fungi  since childhood  sheep farm forays..   After moving  to the  northern edge of Australia's Otways National park I realised how many more wonderful species there are on  uncultivated  land..   I began photographing and researching and now sharing the ongoing results via FungiOz website and FungiOz app.  Fungi identification via field characteristics alone is tentative as are any suggested identifications in FungiOz app and website.
