Kleinsporiges Keulchen

Clavaria guilleminii is a club fungus in the family Clavariaceae, producing simple or sparingly branched fruiting bodies in grassland or woodland habitats. Like other members of the genus, it is associated with nutrient-poor, unfertilised soils. Its conservation status is not evaluated.

Dunkelrotbraune Keule

Clavaria pullei is a coral fungus in the family Clavariaceae with a tropical distribution, described from specimens collected in South America and named for August Adriaan Pulle, a Dutch botanist who contributed extensively to knowledge of Surinamese flora. The genus Clavaria in the broad sense includes a diverse array of simple-clavate to sparingly branched fruiting bodies that occur across tropical, subtropical, and temperate forest soils and grasslands worldwide. Tropical Clavaria species are less well studied than their temperate counterparts, and the taxonomy of the group in South America remains incompletely resolved. Clavaria pullei likely occupies a saprotrophic niche in humid forest ecosystems, decomposing leaf litter and organic debris on the forest floor. Fruiting bodies are typically small, slender, and whitish to pale buff, though precise morphological details depend on the type specimen. The species reflects broader patterns of fungal diversity in neotropical forests, where the majority of fungal biodiversity remains undescribed or poorly documented. Conservation status has not been formally evaluated, and little is known about the ecology, population size, or current distribution of this species beyond the original type description.
