Ramaria myceliosa

Ramaria myceliosa is a species of coral fungus in the family Gomphaceae. Found in North America, it was originally described by Charles Horton Peck in 1904 with the name "Clavaria myceliosa". The type was collected by botanist Edwin Bingham Copeland in the mountains near Stanford University in California. E.J.H. Corner transferred it to the genus "Ramaria" in 1950. Giachini and colleagues proposed that "Ramaria myceliosa" is the same species as the European "Phaeoclavulina curta", but did not provide molecular evidence to support their suggested synonymy. In a recent (2014) publication on California fungi, the authors propose the transfer of "Ramaria myceliosa" to the genus "Phaeoclavulina", but , this transfer has not been accepted by either MycoBank or Index Fungorum.
