Dentipratulum is a small genus of resupinate (crust-like) fungi in the family Auriscalpiaceae. It represents a morphological reduction within the family, forming simple, spine-like fruit bodies directly on the substrate without a cap or stipe. The genus was originally described based on the species Dentipratulum bialoviesense from the Białowieża Forest.
Fruit bodies consist of loose clusters of downward-pointing spines (teeth) arising from a thin, arachnoid subiculum or directly from the wood. The spines are typically white to cream-colored. Microscopically, they share the family's characteristic amyloid, ornamented spores and gloeocystidia.
