Thelephora is a genus of fungi in the family Thelephoraceae. The genus has a widespread distribution and contains about 50 species.[2] Fruit bodies of species are leathery, usually brownish at maturity, and range in shape from coral-like tufts to having distinct caps. Almost all species in the genus are thought to be inedible,[3] but Thelephora ganbajun is a gourmet fungus in Yunnan province of southwest China.[4]

Quick Facts Scientific classification, Type species ...

The generic name is derived from the Greek thele (θηλή) meaning nipple and phorus meaning bearing.[5] Species in the genus are commonly known as "fiber fans" and "fiber vases".[3]

Some Thelephora species are known to accumulate or even hyperaccumulate trace elements in fruit-bodies. Thelephora penicillata hyperaccumulates cadmium and arsenic.[6]
