Just did the same blunder. Spent the better part of the day working around it.

In my case I sent bitcoin cash (BTH) from Coinbase to a mycelium wallet.

Here is how I recovered the funds.

First installed on my phone a wallet that supports BCH (mycelium is working on that, but even though I installed the mycelium bitcoin cash module app, no new app appeared and nothing changed in my existing mycelium app).

The wallet of choice was Coinomi.

Then I used the 12-word BIP39 mnemonic to restore the mycelium wallet into coinomi and also added Bitcoincash support (upper left corner, tap burger menu, bottom has `+COINS` where you add supported coins to see in your dashboard).

Afterwards, went on my PC (needed PC screen to scan a QR code with the coinomi app) to <https://iancoleman.io/bip39/> and typed again my BIP39 mnemonic. Then scrolled down to `Derived addresses`. Looked up under column `Address` the BTC public address to which I had sent the BTH and ended up with this mess in the first place. Hovered mouse over `Private key` value corresponding to the BTC public address that received the funds. This showed up a QR code.

Back to coinomi, clicked the QR scan icon and in Ian Colmen's BIP39 page I scanned the QR of the private key mentioned above.

Happy ending.
