Clavulinopsis fusiformis is a species of club fungus that grows in clusters, typically 2-6 cm tall, with fusiform to cylindrical stems and yellowish to pale brown tips. In East and Central Texas, it is commonly found in wooded areas, particularly under oak, pine, and cedar trees, often fruiting in late summer to early fall. The fungus tends to thrive in well-drained soils with rich organic matter, and can be abundant in regions with mild winters and hot, humid summers.
Coral mushrooms Clavulinopsis fusiformis collected by people at mushroom walk of Gulf States Mycological Society. Little Thicket Nature Sanctuary, Cleveland, Texas, November 3, 2018
Sam Houston National Forest, 394 FM 1375, New Waverly, TX 77358, USAObservations of Clavulinopsis fusiformis in East and Central Texas reveal that the fungus grows in clusters on the ground in wooded areas. On November 3, 2018, specimens were collected at the Little Thicket Nature Sanctuary in Cleveland, Texas, during a mushroom walk organized by the Gulf States Mycological Society. The coral mushrooms were found to be fusiform in shape, with a typical size range of 2-6 cm in height and 0.5-1.5 cm in width. They exhibited a yellow to orange coloration, with a smooth to slightly wrinkled surface. The habitat consisted of mixed hardwood and pine forests, with rich soil and abundant leaf litter. Further observations are needed to fully understand the distribution and ecology of Clavulinopsis fusiformis in this region. The collected specimens were identified based on their morphology and habitat characteristics. Additional collections have been made in similar habitats.
