Paratrichophaea boudieri is a species of fungus in the family Pyronemataceae. It has been found in St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, typically growing on moist soil, decaying wood, and other organic matter. In north-western Russia, it fruits in late summer to early autumn, forming small, cup-shaped ascocarps that are 0.5-2 cm in diameter, with a yellowish-brown to brown exterior and a pale yellow to whitish interior. The fungus is relatively rare in the region, but can be encountered in areas with rich soil and abundant organic debris.
