Rickenella fibula or Omphalina fibula is a species of fungus belonging to the genus Rickenella. It is orange to yellow and occurs among moss.[1] The cap is quite small, with a diameter usually less than 1 centimetre (3⁄8 in).[2] The stipe is relatively long.[1] It has little odor or taste, and is regarded as nonpoisonous.[3]
According to molecular analysis, the species is more closely related to certain polypores and crust fungi than other gilled mushrooms.[1] A similar species is Rickenella swartzii.[1]
