Geopora is a genus of truffle-like fungi in the family Pyronemataceae, currently with 13 described species.[2] The genus was circumscribed by mycologist Harvey Willson Harkness in 1885.[3] Molecular phylogenetic reconstructions indicate that the cup-like apothecial Geopora should better be placed back in a separate genus, Sepultaria.[4] Geopora would then only comprise Geopora cooperi and its close relatives.
