Echinodontium Ballouii
''Echinodontium'' is a genus of fungi in the family (biology), family Echinodontiaceae. The genus was published by American mycologist Job Bicknell Ellis in 1900, who described it thus: "Differs from ''Hydnum'' in the thick, woody pileus of ''Fomes'' and the teeth beset with spines, as in ''Mucronophorus'' and ''Hymenochaete''". The type species, ''Echinodontium tinctorium'', is commonly known as the "indian paint fungus" owing to its traditional use for bodypainting.
