The tips are yellow but
fade when old. It branches below and the stems are whitish. Flesh white.
It is recommended as well flavored and edible.
+CLAVARIA PISTILLARIS = a pestle.+
+The Large Club Clavaria.+
This species belongs to the largest of the unbranched kind. It is
generally 3 to 5 inches high, and 1/2 to 2/3 of an inch thick at top.
Light yellow color, then reddish, and dingy brown in decay. It is smooth
and the flesh soft and white. It is rounded at the top and club-shaped.
It tapers downward toward the base. Stevenson gives the height from 6 to
12 inches, but Professor Peck says he has not seen it as large in this
country. It is found in open grassy places. It was late in the autumn
when we discovered it. (Edible.)
+CLAVARIA INEQUALIS = unequal.+
+The Unequal Clavaria.+
This fungus is yellow and fragile. The clubs are alike in color, simple
or forked, and variable. It is common in woods and pastures. We found it
in September in the woods, rather wrinkled in appearance.
