Clavicorona is a fungal genus in the family Clavariaceae. The genus was circumscribed by Maxwell Stanford Doty in 1947, who included the species C. pyxidata, C. cristata, C. taxophila, and C. candelabrum.[1] E.J.H.Corner added another five species in 1950: C. candelabrum, C. colensoi, C. javanica, C. mairei, and C. tuba.[2] He included C. dichotoma in 1970.[3]

In his 1972 revision of the genus, James Dodd listed 11 species,[4] but most of these have since been transferred to other genera, particularly Artomyces.
