Scleroderma hypogaeum is a type of underground fungus that typically grows among plant roots and in well-drained soils, often forming symbiotic relationships with trees. Its outer skin is thick, and upon maturing, it releases spores through a rupture, aiding in its reproduction. Scleroderma hypogaeum is known for its round shape and earthy colors.
