Alloclavaria



Alloclavaria
Scientific classification
Kingdom: Fungi
Subkingdom: Dikarya
Phylum: Basidiomycota
Subphylum: Agaricomycotina
Class: Agaricomycetes
Order: Hymenochaetales
Family: Repetobasidiaceae
Genus: Alloclavaria
Alloclavaria is a clavarioid genus in the Hymenochaetales recently segregated from Clavaria by molecular analysis [1]. Phylogenetically related agaricoid fungi are in the genera Rickenella, Contumyces, Gyroflexus, Loreleia, Cantharellopsis and Blasiphalia, and Cyphellostereum and the stipitate stereoid genera Cotylidia and Cyphellostereum[2]. The only species as of yet placed in Alloclavaria is the type species, formerly known as Clavaria purpurea and under which name it is often cited or illustrated.[1][2]. It is suspected, via circumstantial evidence, i.e. habitat, but not proven, that Alloclavaria is mycorrhizal.

Etymology

Alloclavaria means "the other Clavaria", a reference to the fact it was segregated from Clavaria which was shown to be a member of the Agaricales through phylogenetic analysis of the DNA.
