Muellerella lichenicola is a species of lichenicolous fungus in the family Verrucariaceae. It was first formally described as a new species in 1826 by Søren Christian Sommerfelt, as Sphaeria lichenicola. David Leslie Hawksworth transferred it to the genus Muellerella in 1979.^[1]

It has been reported growing on Caloplaca aurantia, Caloplaca saxicola and in Sicily^[2] and on unidentified crustose lichen in Iceland.^[3] In Mongolia, it has been reported growing on the thallus of a Biatora-lichen at 2800 meter elevation in the Bulgan district and on Aspicilia at 1850 meter elevation in the Altai district.^[4]
