features

Macroscopic features

The fruiting bodies grow individually, in groups or in clumps on the ground. They are mostly unbranched, in some species branched and often brittle. The color palette ranges from white, gray, pink, purple, yellow, ocher and brown to black.

Microscopic features

The septa of the fungal threads are buckleless , while the narrow, club-like basidia can have a wide, open buckle at the base. Some species have thin-walled cystids . The spores have a narrow to broadly elliptical or subglobose to spherical shape. They are colorless, thin-walled, smooth or spiky ornamented and mostly filled without large drops of oil. The iodine color reaction is negative.

ecology

The clubs live in a saprobionic way and colonize a wide range of habitats. They grow in forests and on grasslands, but also occur, for example, on roadsides, on heaths and in moors. The soil can be basic to acidic. They can also be found on differently moist soils.

species

Around 30 species occur in Europe or can be expected there.
