Mixtoconidium is a small genus of lichenicolous (lichen-dwelling) fungi in the division Ascomycota. Its relationship to other genera is unclear (incertae sedis), and it has not been assigned to any family, order or class.
The genus was circumscribed by the Spanish mycologist Javier Etayo in 1995, with M. canariense assigned as the type and only species. An additional two species were recombined into the genus in 2017.
