Bryoclavula
''Bryoclavula'' is a small genus of lichen-forming fungi of uncertain family (biology), familial placement in the order Cantharellales. It comprises two species of bryophilous lichens (lichens that grows on bryophytes). The genus was circumscription (taxonomy), circumscribed by Hiroshi Masumoto and Yousuke Degawa in 2020, with ''Bryoclavula phycophila, B. phycophila'' assigned as the type species, type, and at the time, only species. An additional species, discovered in east Texas, USA, was added to the genus in 2024. Taxonomy ''Bryoclavula'' was established in 2020 by Hiroshi Masumoto and Yousuke Degawa, with ''Bryoclavula phycophila, B. phycophila'' designated as the type species, type, and at the time, only species. The generic name combines "bryo" (Greek, referring to bryophytes, the substrate (biology), substrate on which it grows) and "clavula" (Latin, referring to the small clavarioid or club-shaped fruiting bodies).
