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.[2] E.J.H. Corner transferred it to the genus Ramaria in 1950.[3] Ramaria subbotrytis accumulates arsenic and besides arsenobetaine contains a very unusual organoarsenic compound homoarsenocholine.[4]

The species is edible.[5]
