Clavulinopsis helvola is a species of club fungus that grows in clusters or scattered groups on the ground in wooded areas. In East and Central Texas, it typically fruits from summer to fall, often in association with oak and pine trees. The fungus has a yellowish-brown to orange-brown color, with cylindrical to club-shaped stems that are 2-6 cm tall and 1-3 mm thick. The tips of the stems are often pointed or rounded, and the flesh is fragile and easily broken. It can be found in a variety of habitats, including deciduous and coniferous forests, as well as woodland edges and clearings.
