Alloclavaria
Template:Short description Template:Automatic taxobox
Alloclavaria is a clavarioid genus in the Hymenochaetales recently segregated from Clavaria by molecular analysis.[1] Phylogenetically related fungi are in the agaricoid genera Rickenella, Contumyces, Gyroflexus, Loreleia, Cantharellopsis and Blasiphalia, as well as the stipitate stereoid genera Cotylidia and Muscinupta.[2] The only species as yet placed in Alloclavaria is the type, formerly known as Clavaria purpurea under which name it is often cited or illustrated.[1][2]. It is suspected, via circumstantial evidence, i.e. habitat, but not proven, that Alloclavaria is mycorrhizal.

Etymology
Alloclavaria means "the other Clavaria", a reference to the fact it was segregated from Clavaria which was shown to be a member of the Agaricales through phylogenetic analysis of the DNA.
