Hirticlavula (Clavariaceae, Agaricales, Agaricomycetes, Basidiomycota) was established by Petersen et al. (2014) to accommodate Hirticlavula elegans as a type species. The members of Hirticlavula are characterized by small, club-shaped, stipe hirsute basidiomata without sclerotium, monomitic hyphal system, non-inflated hyphae, cyanophilous, unbranched, septate, widening towards the obtuse apex hairs, basidia holobasidia without clamps, hyaline, and smooth spores with more or less cyanophilous. Only one species has been accepted from this genus and found on Quercus bark on the ground in a mature oak woodland in Norway (Petersen et al. 2014). No other species have been introduced to this genus, which remains monotypic.
Type species: Hirticlavula elegans J.H. Petersen & Læssøe
Other accepted species: This genus is monotypic.
