Calocera
''Calocera'' is a fungal genus in the Dacrymycetes order. It is widely distributed and contains 15 species. Etymology ''Calocera'' is derived from the Greek words ''kalós'', "beautiful", and ''kéras'', "horn". In English it is called stagshorn, which also describes its similarity with the horn of an animal.http://www.mushroomdiary.co.uk/2011/10/yellow-stagshorn-fungus/ Mushroom Diary, retrieved 20 January 2021 Species *'' Calocera australis'' *'' Calocera bambusicola'' *'' Calocera clavata'' *''Calocera cornea'' *'' Calocera furcata'' *'' Calocera fusca'' *'' Calocera glossoides'' *'' Calocera guepinioides'' *'' Calocera lutea'' *'' Calocera pallidospathulata'' *'' Calocera sinensis'' *''Calocera viscosa ''Calocera viscosa'', commonly known as the yellow stagshorn, is a jelly fungus, a member of the Dacrymycetales, an order of fungi characterized by their unique "tuning fork" basidia.

Calocera Cornea
''Calocera cornea'' is a jelly fungus that grows on decaying wood. It is a member of the Dacrymycetales, an order of fungi characterized by their unique "tuning fork" basidia. Its yellow, finger-like, tapering basidiocarps are somewhat gelatinous in texture. In typical specimens the basidiocarps become up to 3 mm in diameter, and 2 cm in height. The hymenium covers the sides of the basidiocarps, each basidium producing and forcibly discharging only two basidiospores. It is inedible.

Dacrymycetaceae
The Dacrymycetaceae are a family of fungi in the order Dacrymycetales. Species are saprotrophs and occur on dead wood. Their distribution is worldwide. Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are ceraceous to gelatinous, often yellow to orange, and variously clavarioid, disc-shaped, cushion-shaped, spathulate, or corticioid (effused). Genera in the Dacrymycetaceae have traditionally been differentiated on basidiocarp morphology, in later years following the monographs of New Zealand mycologist Robert McNabb. Molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences, has however shown that morphology is not a good indicator of natural relationships. To date, only the recently described genus '' Dendrodacrys'' is monophyletic In cladistics for a group of organisms, monophyly is the condition of being a clade—that is, a group of taxa composed only of a common ancestor (or more precisely an ancestral population) and all of its lineal descendants.
