Multiclavula vernalis is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Clavulinaceae. It is characterized by its small, club-shaped or clavate fruiting bodies that are typically yellow to orange in color. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, Multiclavula vernalis has been found growing on mosses and other non-vascular plants in moist, shaded areas, often in association with coniferous trees. The fungus is typically fruiting in spring and early summer, hence its specific epithet "vernalis", meaning "of the spring".
