Mucronella flava is a species of fungus in the family Clavariaceae. It was originally described by English mycologist E. J. H. Corner in 1953.[1]

The teeth are 2–4 millimetres (1⁄16–3⁄16 in) long and grow in clumps 1–5 centimetres (1⁄2–2 in) across; dozens to hundreds of teeth can be found together.[2] It may require microscopy to distinguish from M. pulchra. Phlebia aurea and P. uda are also similar.[2]

It grows on or under conifer logs in North America (on the West Coast and in the northeast).[2]
