Previous studies have suggested that species the sister group to a clade of Clavicorona-Clavaria- classified in Camarophyllopsis occur in two independent Camarophyllopsis. The genus Clavicorona produces basi- lineages. We reconstructed a multilocus phylogeny of diomes that are inflated upward and have a sterile the Clavaria-Camarophyllopsis-Clavicorona clade in the upper surface but lack lamellar modification of the Clavariaceae using RNA polymerase II second largest hymenophore.
