Club shaped fungi

This is an artificial grouping of fruiting bodies with a similar basic morphology from a variety of groups (stinkhorns, dead mens' fingers, jelly fungi, club fungi). Note that in this section, the intent is to distinguish between these similar groups, and then typically the key leads you to the taxonomic group, usually earlier in the key.
