Mucronella is a genus of fungi in the Clavariaceae family. The type species was originally named Hydnum calvum in a collaborative effort by the German botanist Johannes Baptista von Albertini and the American Lewis David de Schweinitz in 1805;[2] Swedish mycologist Elias Magnus Fries later transferred the species to the newly described Mucronella in 1874.[3]
