Corticium penicillatum is a corticioid fungus in the class Agaricomycetes and a plant pathogen, the causal agent of coconut thread blight, a leaf disease of coconut palms. It was first described from Papua New Guinea in 1925 and has since been reported from Vanuatu, Fiji and the Solomon Islands. The species has never been redescribed or reviewed since its original description, and it is considered unlikely to actually belong to the genus Corticium in the modern sense.
