Coral and Club Fungi

Coral and club fungi are a diverse group characterized by their distinctive shapes, which can resemble clubs, coral branches, or fan-like structures. Unlike gilled mushrooms, their spore-bearing surfaces are typically on the exterior of their upright branches or folded undersides. This list includes several species found in British Columbia, with information based on species accounts from E-Flora BC.
