Geopora arenicola is a small, hypogeous to semi-subterranean cup fungus with a pale, hairy exterior and smooth interior, growing in sandy soils. It inhabits sandy, well-drained soils of coastal dunes, sandy heathlands, and dry grasslands in temperate Europe. This ectomycorrhizal or saprotrophic fungus decomposes organic matter in nutrient-poor sandy substrates.

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.
