Anmutige Büschelkeule

Clavaria amoenoides is a club fungus in the family Clavariaceae, assessed as Vulnerable (VU). It produces erect, simple or sparingly branched fruiting bodies in unfertilised grasslands, a habitat that has declined dramatically due to agricultural intensification. Its vulnerable status underscores the importance of traditional grassland management for fungal diversity.

Schwarzbraune Keule

Clavaria atrofusca is a club fungus in the family Clavariaceae, assessed as Data Deficient (DD). It produces dark-coloured, simple or sparsely branched fruiting bodies in grassland or woodland habitats. Insufficient collection data make a reliable conservation assessment difficult.
