Coral fungi

Also known as: Finger fungi, Spaghetti mushroom, Corals

Coral fungi (Clavariaceae) is so-named because the growth shape of some member species resemble that of corals. This taxonomic family was classified (or *circumscribed*) in 1826 by the French botanist Fran?ois Fulgis Chevallier. In the past, all member species were thought to have this characteristic coral fungi-like shape, but more recently, species with more ordinary mushroom-like bodies were discovered.
