Clavulicium is a genus of corticioid fungi in the family Stereopsidaceae. It was formerly placed in the family Clavulinaceae in the order Cantharellales but was found to belong in a new order along with Stereopsis in 2014.[2][3] The widespread genus was circumscribed by the French mycologist Jacques Boidin in 1957.[4] The spores and the basidia of species in the genus are similar to those in Clavulina but also similar to those in Stereopsis.[3] Clavulicium globosum is now a species of Stereopsis.[3]
