Ramaria cokeri is a coral mushroom in the family Gomphaceae. It was described in 1976 from the Appalachian Mountains in the United States.[3] Some authors have proposed to place the species in a separate genus Phaeoclavulina based on molecular analyses,[1][4] but this was explicitly rejected in a subsequent publication due to the resulting morphological variability of the resulting genus.[5]
