Geopora sepulta

Geopora sepulta is a species of fungus belonging to the family Pyronemataceae.

It is an uncommon European species.

The first accepted record for Britain was a specimen collected in Kent in 1995.

[1] This fungus forms a rounded ascocarp underground on sandy loam soils.

This fruiting body remains subterranean for most of the year but breaks the surface in the spring to form a creamy-grey cup (apothecium) up to 4.5 cm across and 3 cm tall.
