Extract from Wikipedia article: Clavulinopsis laeticolor is a coral mushroom in the family Clavariaceae. It has fruit bodies with slender, bright orange to yellow arms up to 5 cm (2 in) tall and 3 mm wide. It fruits singly or in loose groups on the ground, often among mosses. A widely distributed species, it is found in Asia, Europe, North America, and New Zealand.
Clavulinopsis laeticolor is a species of club fungus that grows in clusters, typically 2-6 cm tall, with yellow to orange-yellow clubs that are cylindrical to clavate in shape. In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, it has been found in coniferous and mixed forests, often associated with mosses and lichens. In north-western Russia, it is considered a rare species, typically fruiting from August to October in moist, acidic soils.

Small yellow coral mushrooms Clavulinopsis laeticolor from a greenhouse on mushroom show in Botanic Gardens of Komarov Botanical Institute. Saint Petersburg, Russia, September 30, 2017Observations of Clavulinopsis laeticolor in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia reveal varied color morphs. In a greenhouse at the Botanic Gardens of Komarov Botanical Institute, specimens exhibited orange and yellow hues. On September 30, 2017, orange coral mushrooms were documented, showcasing their vibrant coloration. Additionally, small yellow coral mushrooms were also observed on the same day, demonstrating the fungus's ability to display different shades. These observations suggest that Clavulinopsis laeticolor can exhibit a range of colors, including orange and yellow, in controlled environments such as greenhouses. The variation in color may be influenced by environmental factors or genetic differences within the species. Further study is needed to fully understand the extent of color variation in Clavulinopsis laeticolor. These findings contribute to our knowledge of the fungus's morphology and diversity in north-western Russia.
