Penicillium claviforme is a species of Penicillium within the phylum Ascomycota. It is found within the subgenus Terverticillium. It has a coremium-type morphology in the sexual structures, named for its resemblance to matchsticks.

It is also known as Penicillium vulpinum; or synnema, meaning 'pillow', because of the closely appressed conidiophores.
