Clavulina urnigerobasidiata
R.H. Petersen 1988
Description:
Fruitbodies: Coralloid, 20-60 mm tall, sparsely to moderately branched, forming loose, irregular clusters. Branches slender, subcylindrical to slightly flattened, often unevenly arranged. Overall colour white, cream, or pale grey‑cream, sometimes with faint buff or pinkish tones. Texture brittle, snapping cleanly.
Apex: Rounded or bluntly forked; tips usually paler than the branches, often almost white.
Colour: White, cream, pale buff, or grey‑cream; drying paler or slightly yellowish.
Surface: Smooth to faintly pruinose; older branches may show slight wrinkling or shallow folds. No strong rugosity.
Base: Short, compact, whitish; not distinctly stalked.
Size: Clusters 20–60 mm tall and 10–40 mm wide.
Growth habit: Solitary or in small scattered groups; often forming loose tufts rather than dense corals.

Common name: None.
Habitat: Moist, shaded forest; among leaf litter, humus, or moss.
Substrate: Soil or humus; occasionally on well‑rotted wood.
Distribution: Described from North America. Reports from Australia and New Zealand are uncertain and may represent similar pale Clavulina species rather than true C. urnigerobasidiata.
Season: Autumn.
Biostatus: Uncertain in New Zealand (likely misapplied; local pale forms may represent undescribed taxa).
Edible: Unknown; not recomended.
Spore print: White.
