juncicola Bourdot & Galzin (1927) Pterulicium gracile is a species of mushroom producing fungus in the family Pterulaceae.

Amongst others, it has previously been classified as a Typhula or Clavaria species owing to the similar colour, form and diminutive size members of this genus have.

The large number of synonyms this species has a result of all these reclassifications speaks to both how often it was found and the lack of significant distinguishing features to separate it neatly from other coral fungi.

In 2020 the Pterulaceae family was reclassified based on phylogenetic analysis and many species were split into Pterula, Myrmecopterula, Pterulicium and Phaeopterula genera.

This species was one of them and was reclassified as Pterulicium gracile by the mycologists Caio A. Leal-Dutra, Bryn Tjader Mason Dentinger and Gareth W. Griffith in 2020.

Fruit body: 2-10mm thin, hairlike coral that is densely crowded and sometimes forks towards the smooth and shiny pointed tips.

It has been founded on decaying vegetable matter, leaves and the stems of herbaceous plants in deciduous woodland and marshes.

[6] As of October 2022[update], GBIF has fewer than 100 recorded observations for Pterulicium gracile[8] and around 200 for the previous taxon Pterula gracilis.
