Geopora tenuis is a hypogeous or semi-hypogeous cup fungus in the family Pyronemataceae, assessed as Near Threatened (NT). It produces inconspicuous, thin-walled fruiting bodies that develop at or just below the soil surface in forest habitats. Its near-threatened status may reflect dependence on undisturbed, mature forest soils.
