1 Sometimes create dense, complex, branching clumps of growth which resemble corals, or cauliflowers. 2  Coral fungi are saprobes with both terrestrial and lignicolous forms. 3  They produce erect basidiocarps that may be simple and reasonably club-shaped or branched.
Most corals, like other cnidarians, contain a symbiotic algae called zooxanthellae, within their gastrodermal cells. The coral provides the algae with a protected environment and the compounds necessary for photosynthesis. second feature all corals possess is a circle of tentacles, extensions of the body wall that surround the mouth.
