Clavicorona
Introduction '''''Clavicorona''''' is a fungal genus in the family Auriscalpiaceae. The genus was first described by Maxwell Stanford Doty in 1947, who included the species ''C. pyxidata'', ''C. cristata'', ''C. taxophila'', and ''C. candelabrum''. E.J.H.Corner added another five species in 1950: ''C. candelabrum'', ''C. colensoi'', ''C. javanica'', ''C. mairei'', and ''C. tuba''. He included ''C. dichotoma'' in 1970.In his 1972 revision of the genus, James Dodd listed 11 species, but most of these have since been transferred to other genera, particularly ''Artomyces''. According to the nomenclatural database Index Fungorum, the genus is monotypic, as the sole remaining valid species is the type, '''''Clavicorona taxophila'''''.
