Clavaria sp. 5 R.H. Petersen 1988

Collections Examined

North Island: WR, Karamatura Stream, Lvii.81, coll. EH & P. Johnston, no. 35 (ZT).

Description

Fruit bodies up to 5 cm high, up to 2.5 mm thick, simple to bifurcate clubs, cespitose in groups of up to 35 individuals, extremely brittle, white through maturity, slowly aging to very pale yellow, often subspathulate to expanded above, occasionally branched once in an open configuration, the branches thick and blunt. Stipe poorly delimited from hymenium. Taste and odour negligible.
Tramal hyphae clampless. Basidia clamped or furcate. Spores subglobose, smooth.

Notes

One specimen (here) is inadequate for the description of a new taxon. Corner's (1950; p. 239) description of Clavaria gibbsiae var. megaspora fits well, but C. gibbsiae var. gibbsiae is spiny-spored, so I do not consider var. megaspora conspecific with it, although I have not seen the type specimen of var. megaspora.
