Extract from Wikipedia article: Clavaria rosea is a species of coral fungus in the family Clavariaceae. It has coral-like fruit bodies with "arms" up to 4 cm (1.6 inches) high and 3 mm (0.12 in) thick. The arms are smooth, unbranched, pink, and have rounded tips. The stem is up to 1.1 cm (0.43 in) long and 2 mm (0.08 in) thick, and black. The spores are smooth, hyaline (translucent), inamyloid, pip-shaped, and measure 7–10 by 2–3 μm. Described in 1811 by Swedish physician and naturalist Johan Wilhelm Dalman, the species is found in Asia, Europe, and North America, where it grows singly on the ground in mixed forests.
Clavaria rosea is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Clavariaceae. It is characterized by its pink to reddish-purple club-shaped or cylindrical fruiting body, typically 2-6 cm tall and 0.5-1.5 cm wide. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, Clavaria rosea has been found growing in groups or clusters on the ground in coniferous and mixed forests, often associated with mosses and lichens. It typically fruits from late summer to early autumn, and is considered a relatively rare species in the region.

Spores (in lugol) of coral mushrooms Clavaria rosea collected earlier 8/13/2024 between Oselki and Toksovo, north from Saint Petersburg, Russia, August 23, 2024
Spores (in KOH) of coral mushrooms Clavaria rosea collected earlier 8/13/2024 between Oselki and Toksovo, north from Saint Petersburg, Russia, August 23, 2024Observations of Clavaria rosea in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia reveal the fungus grows near roadsides, as seen around Kavgolovo Lake between Oselki and Toksovo. On August 13, 2024, coral mushrooms were found on the side of a road, displaying their characteristic rosy color. A side view of the rosy club coral mushrooms showed their unique shape. Spore samples collected on August 13, 2024, were later examined in lugol and KOH solutions on August 23, 2024, providing further insight into the fungus's characteristics. The observations suggest Clavaria rosea thrives in roadside environments in north-western Russia, with notable finds near Saint Petersburg. The fungus's appearance and spore characteristics were documented, contributing to a better understanding of its presence in the region. The specific locations and dates provide valuable data for further study of Clavaria rosea in this area.
