Montagnea arenaria, commonly known as the gasteroid coprinus, ^[2] is a species of secotioid fungus in the family Agaricaceae. Originally named Agaricus arenarius by Augustin Pyramus de Candolle in 1815, ^[3] it was transferred to the genus Montagnea by Sanford Myron Zeller in 1943. The species is characterized by a cap that has an apical disc up to 5 centimetres (2 in) wide, ^[4] radial gills, a hymenophore, and spores with a prominent germ pore. ^[5] It is inedible. ^[6]
