Clavaria pistillaris 



Of the club-shaped davarias, the pistil clavaria is the 

 largest. It is of a light yellow tinged with brown or red, and 

 with soft white flesh. In shape it resembles an Indian club, 

 being blunt and rounded at the summit, with a diameter of an 

 inch or less, and a height of five inches or less. It is found 

 during the summer in grassy open places or in thin woods. 



Clavaria fellea 



The clubs of this species are about one inch high, light yellow 

 tinged with brown or red, somewhat divided by pairs from 

 bottom to top into two forked branches. The stem is round and 

 solid, and the branches are crowded and nearly parallel, with 

 blunt tips, and of a uniform colour. The taste is bitter. 



Clavaria formosa 



The Clavaria formosa has a stout whitish stem, with erect 

 branches, dividing and subdividing repeatedly, golden to pink, 

 the branchlets obtuse. The specimen pictured grew on a fallen 

 tree in dense mixed woods.
