About Clavulina vinaceocervina (Cleland) Corner

Clavulina vinaceocervina (Cleland) Corner is typically around 5 centimetres (2.0 in) tall. It has a short trunk that grows into irregular branches, which form prong-like divisions that split into a number of small branchlets. The small branchlets are short, prong-like, and blunt, but may sometimes be acute, thorn-like, or digitate. The main branches can be irregularly flattened and rugose; they are often slender, but may also be stouter and knobby. The overall body colour ranges from reddish-brown to fawn, with the branch tips showing a reddish-pink colour. The spores of this species are smooth and subglobose (roundish), and measure 7.5–10 × 6.5–8.8 μm. This fungus can be misidentified as the related species Ramariopsis ramarioides. It grows on the ground under trees, and is found in Southern Australia.
