The authors found the rare geoglossoid fungus Sabuloglossum arenarium during field excursions in the Krkonoše Mts. (Giant Mountains) and Hrubý Jeseník Mts. in the autumn of 2014. The finds are the first records of this species in the Czech Republic. Its ascocarps grew in the subalpine zone in association with heath (Calluna vulgaris), cowberry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea), and bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus), and close to another unusual fungus, Clavaria argillacea, in the trampled margin of tourist tracks. Macroscopic and microscopic measurements were made to identify the specimens and a comparison with data of other authors is presented.
