Podoserpula miranda is a species of fungus in the family Amylocorticiaceae. Found in New Caledonia, it was first provisionally described in 2009, but officially published in 2013. It's commonly called the Barbie pagoda fungus due to its pale pink color and multi-tiered appearance. The species epithet miranda means 'wonderful' in Latin.
It grows in the soil and is associated with Arillastrum gummiferum.
