SSTORO Corner EJH. (1950). A Monograph of Clavaria and Allied Genera. Corner who realized that, in this broad sense, the family was not a natural phylogenetic assemblage of related species. The family has a worldwide distribution, though many individual species are more localized. Lignicolous species are presumed to be saprotrophic, wood-decaying fungi; Ceratellopsis species occur on dead leaves and litter and are also presumed to be saprotrophic. The remaining members of the Clavariaceae are considered to be biotrophic, a few forming associations with ericaceous plants.|Power Tools are used in Industry
