621461D0ABA33D922A0266D03CD44286.taxon	etymology	Etymology. admiratia = surprise, astonish, referring to the acanthodendroid hyphae in the outer stipe context.	en	Petersen, Ronald H., Hughes, Karen W., Justice, Jay (2014): Two new species of Ramaria from Arkansas. MycoKeys 8: 17-29, DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3897/mycokeys.8.7356, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.3897/mycokeys.8.7356
621461D0ABA33D922A0266D03CD44286.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. 1) Member of Ramaria subg. Laeticolora sect. Formosae; 2) clamp connections absent from all tissues; 3) acanthodendroid hyphae common in outer stipe flesh and surface; 4) stipe large, pruinose, white but easily staining to brown where handled or rubbed; 5) branch apices bright orange red; 6) type locality, northern Arkansas; 7) ITS sequence unique in the subgenus; (GenBank ITS accession KJ 416133). Basidiomata (Figs 1 - 4) robust, fleshy, - 16 x 14 cm, repeatedly branched, coralloid. Stipe portion massive (Fig. 3), from discrete to 2 - 3 large conjunct stipes, fleshy, rounded, with minimum external mycelium, superficially white-pruinose where undisturbed, extensively " Mikado brown " (7 C 6) where rubbed; flesh off-white, solid, moist (not slippery), very finely marbled, very slowly becoming tan where sliced; abortive branchlets in small, vertical clusters, easily brown. Lower branches " light ochraceous buff " (5 A 4), upward " capucine orange " (5 A 6) to " Mikado orange " (6 A 6), in age " ochraceous salmon " (6 A 6) to " light ochraceous salmon " (6 A 4); internodes diminishing gradually; branch apices (Fig. 4) (ultimate 3 - 4 mm) rounded, ultimately dentate, " Grenadine red " (8 A 8), becoming concolorous to " capucine yellow " (5 A 8). Odor none. Taste none. 5 % aqueous FeSO 4 on stipe flesh = no color change. Figures 1, 2. Basidiomata of Ramaria admiratia. 1 Exterior of two mature basidiomata and one immature 2 Left. Exposed stipe and lower branch trama. Right. Exterior of mature basidioma. Standard lines = 5 cm. Holotype. Figures 3, 4.

Calvus = bald; distalis = referring to the spore wall opposite the hilar appendage.	en	Petersen, Ronald H., Hughes, Karen W., Justice, Jay (2014): Two new species of Ramaria from Arkansas.

40C8FD05052FDBE1014784E990D2D757.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. 1) Member of Ramaria subg. Laeticolora; 2) clamp connections absent from all tissues; 3) acanthodendroid hyphae absent; 4) stipe small, pruinose, white, without color change where handled or rubbed; 5) branches and apices yellow; 6) type locality northern Arkansas; 7) ITS sequence unique in the subgenus; (GenBank accession KJ 416132). Adult basidiomata (Fig. 6) - 15 x 12 cm, repeatedly branched, coralloid; young basidioma with discrete base, white, hardly canescent or pruinose; adult basidiome base falsely fasciculate (i. e. discrete but with narrow grooves and crevices giving the appearance of several stipes strongly compressed), snow white, finely canescent where free of soil particles; abortive branchlets common, white; stipe flesh white, solid, firm, gelatinous only in areas of degeneration or maggot-infestation, without brown bands or patches; lower branches " orange buff " (5 A 5), upward becoming " warm buff " (5 A 4) to " antimony yellow " (4 B 6); apices rounded, concolorous. Odor none. Taste none; consistency mealy. No bruising reactions on surface or flesh. Figure 6. Basidiomata of Ramaria calvodistalis. Standard line = 5 cm.
