Extract from Wikipedia article: Clavulina cinerea is a species of coral fungus in the family Clavulinaceae.
Clavulina cinerea is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Clavulinaceae. It is characterized by its greyish-brown to pale grey, club-shaped to irregularly branched fruiting bodies. In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, it has been found growing in coniferous and mixed forests, often on mossy soil or decaying wood. In north-western Russia, it typically fruits from July to October, preferring acidic soils and humid environments. Local records indicate that it is a relatively rare species in the region, but can be found in areas with suitable habitat conditions.
