I am interested in Ramaria. Due to the cheer number of Ramaria finds I review I usually don't comment on every single ID unless a lot of effort has been put into it. But feel free to tag me or message with questions and I'll be happy to answer or explain how to tell different genus or species apart.

If I have tagged your find as Gomphaceae it means that it's hard to tell if the observation belongs to the genus Phaeoclavulina or to the genus Ramaria. If I've tagged it as Gomphales it might be a Lentaria as well.

Ramaria formosa, Ramaria flava, Ramaria aurea and Ramaria botrytis are European species. Even though the names are frequently used in American litterature there is currently no evidence that they exists in North, Central or South America. An epiptype has recently been designated for each and they currently have no DNA-sequence matches outside of Europe.

• R. aurea https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/MN637795
• R. formosa. See https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/90095660 for a detailed discussion.

• R. flava https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/KY626146 There are many species that look alike that have traditionally been confused with R. flava. See Petersen 1989.

• R. botrytis. An epitype was designated by Franchi & M. Marchetti in 2017 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/KY626151.1). R. botrytis sits in a group of macromorphological similar species: the Ramaria botrytis-group (=Ramaria subgenus Ramaria). European collections of members of this group differ with a high degree of genetic divergence from American species.

The name Ramaria rasilispora is often erroneously used for any yellow Ramaria. Ronald Exeter has done a good job at describing it in his 2007 Ramaria of the Pacific Northwest which may be found free of charge here https://www.researchgate.net/publication/255719422.

Ronald Exeter has done a good job of describing many Ramaria of the Pacific Northwest in his 2007 Ramaria of the Pacific Northwest book.
