Calocera pallidospathulata is a species of fungus in the family Dacrymycetaceae. In the UK, it has the recommended English name of pale stagshorn. Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are gelatinous, pale yellow, and spathulate (widening towards the apex). It typically grows on logs and dead wood of both broadleaved trees and conifers. It is mainly found in Great Britain, but has also been recorded from continental Europe.
