Clavariadelphus truncatus is a species of mushroom. The common name of the species is truncated club[1][2][3][4] or club coral.[5] It is a member of the basidiomycete fungi family Gomphaceae.

Description

The species has a yellow-orange fruiting body in the shape of a club with a flat cap.[6] The flesh is white, thin, and hollow at the top.[7] The vertical side of the fruiting body normally has folds and wrinkles, but can be smooth. The spores are smooth and their spore print is pale yellow to ochre.[8]

The mushroom has a pleasant odor and a sweet taste.[7]

Similar species

Although one field guide says that it is unlikely that anyone would confuse the mushroom with another species,[9] the yellow chanterelle is distantly related to the mushroom and looks nearly the same, except for the ridges and cross-veined hymenium.[10] Clavariadelphus pistillaris is also similar, but the top is not flat.[6]

Habitat

The mushroom's habitat is in coniferous forests from summer to autumn.[7] The mushroom is a common species.[11] The species is found at a high elevation and is widely distributed.[12] C. truncatus can bioaccumulate significant amounts of zinc,[13] and radioactive caesium-137.[14]

Edibility

The mushroom is edible and has a sweet taste.[7] Old mushrooms may be spongy and soft inside.[15] The species is high in nutrition and can be used for cooking.[16] One field guide says that the mushroom is one of the best to eat and has a sweet flavor that is especially appealing to some people.[17] David Arora writes that the mushroom can be sauteed and served for dessert.[18]

Medicinal uses

The mushroom contains clavaric acid, which has been shown to reduce the rate of tumor development when given to mice.[19] Clavaric acid interferes with farnesyltransferase, an enzyme implicated in tumorigenesis, which suggests that clavaric acid may have therapeutic value in the treatment of certain cancers.[19] It has been reported that mushrooms have significant antioxidant activity.[20]
