Clavulinopsis helvola is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Clavariaceae. It is characterized by its bright yellow to orange-yellow club-shaped fruiting bodies, typically 2-6 cm tall and 0.5-2 mm wide. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, Clavulinopsis helvola has been found growing in groups or clusters on soil, moss, and decaying wood in coniferous and mixed forests, often in association with spruce, pine, and birch trees.
