Clavascidium is a genus of lichens in the family Verrucariaceae.[1] The genus was circumscribed in 1996 by Austrian lichenologist Othmar Breuss.[2] Because the type species of the genus, Clavascidium umbrinum, has been shown using molecular phylogenetics to belong to genus Placidium, Cécile Gueidan and colleagues proposed to unite Clavascidium with Placidium in a 2009 publication.[3] Despite this, the genus has been retained in recent publications of fungal classification.[4][1][5]
