The Ramaria subbotrytis

''Ramaria subbotrytis'' is a species of coral fungus in the family Gomphaceae. It was originally described as ''Clavaria subbotrytis'' by William Chambers Coker in 1923 from collections made in North Carolina. E.J.H. Corner transferred it to the genus ''Ramaria'' in 1950. ''Ramaria subbotrytis'' accumulates arsenic and besides arsenobetaine contains a very unusual organoarsenic compound homoarsenocholine.
