Hydnum
''Hydnum'' is a genus of fungi in the family Hydnaceae. They are notable for their unusual spore-bearing structures of teeth rather than gills. The best known are the edible species ''Hydnum repandum'' and '' H. rufescens''. There are no known toxic varieties of ''Hydnum.'' Widely regarded as important maintainers of forest eco systems, the ''Hydnum'' genus is known to have ectomycorrhizal relationships with multiple plant families. ''Hydnum'' has many brittle, white teeth from which the spores drop. Some species have teeth which hang from ascending branches, while other species have teeth which project downwards from the undersurfaces of dead wood. Most ''hydnum'' are safe to eat, and contain many fatty acids and antioxidants. Taxonomy and diversity Hydnum are found on every continent that is habitable for plant life, with some preferring deep forest regions. Most of the common forms of hydnum, such as ''h. repandum'' and ''h. rufuscens'' can be located in Europe, East Asia, and A ...

Hydnum Repandum
''Hydnum repandum'', commonly known as the sweet tooth, wood hedgehog or hedgehog mushroom, is a basidiomycete fungus of the family Hydnaceae. First described by Carl Linnaeus in 1753, it is the type species of the genus ''Hydnum''. The fungus produces fruit bodies (mushrooms) that are characterized by their spore-bearing structures—in the form of spines rather than gills—which hang down from the underside of the cap. The cap is dry, colored yellow to light orange to brown, and often develops an irregular shape, especially when it has grown closely crowded with adjacent fruit bodies. The mushroom tissue is white with a pleasant odor and a spicy or bitter taste. All parts of the mushroom stain orange with age or when bruised. A mycorrhizal fungus, ''Hydnum repandum'' is broadly distributed in Europe where it fruits singly or in close groups in coniferous or deciduous woodland. This is a choice edible species, although mature specimens can develop a bitter taste. It has no ...

Hydnaceae
The Hydnaceae are a family of fungi in the order Cantharellales. Originally the family encompassed all species of fungi that produced basidiocarps (fruit bodies) having a hymenium (spore-bearing surface) consisting of slender, downward-hanging tapering extensions referred to as "spines" or "teeth", whether they were related or not. This artificial but often useful grouping is now more generally called the hydnoid or tooth fungi. In the strict, modern sense, the Hydnaceae are limited to the genus ''Hydnum'' and related genera, with basidiocarps having a toothed or poroid hymenium. Species in the family are ectomycorrhizal, forming a mutually beneficial relationship with the roots of trees and other plants. ''Hydnum repandum'' (the hedgehog fungus) is an edible species, commercially collected in some countries and often marketed under the French name ''pied de mouton''. Taxonomy History The family was originally described in 1826 by French botanist François Fulgis Chevallier t ...

Hydnum Rufescens
''Hydnum rufescens'', commonly known as the terracotta hedgehog, is an edible basidiomycete of the family Hydnaceae. It belongs to the small group of mushrooms often referred to as the tooth fungi, which produce fruit bodies whose cap undersurfaces are covered by hymenophores resembling spines or teeth, and not pores or gills. It is very similar to the commoner hedgehog fungus (''Hydnum repandum''), and was previously sometimes considered a variety of that species. However, the following differences have been noted:Courtecuisse, R. & Duhem, B. (1994) "Guide des champignons de France et d'Europe" Delachaux et Niestlé , also available in English. *the cap of ''H. rufescens'' is russet rather than beige, *the overall dimensions are smaller and more regular in shape, with a central stipe, *the spines are not decurrent, and *the spores are slightly larger. Both species are found in European coniferous and deciduous forests growing on soil. It is reportedly ectomycorrhizal with ...

Hydnum Ellipsosporum
''Hydnum ellipsosporum'' is a species of fungus in the family Hydnaceae that was described from Germany in 2004. It differs from '' H. repandum'' by the shape and length of its spores, which are ellipsoid An ellipsoid is a surface that may be obtained from a sphere by deforming it by means of directional scalings, or more generally, of an affine transformation. An ellipsoid is a quadric surface;  that is, a surface that may be defined as the ... and measure 9–11 by 6–7.5 µm. Compared to ''H. repandum'', it has smaller fruit bodies, with cap diameters ranging from wide.

Hydnum Oregonense
''Hydnum oregonense'' is a species of tooth fungus in the family Hydnaceae. It was scientifically described in 2018 by Norvell, Liimat. & Niskanen. It is found in western North America, where it grows under conifer and tan oak trees. It is edible An edible item is any item that is safe for humans to eat. "Edible" is differentiated from "eatable" because it does not indicate how an item tastes, only whether it is fit to be eaten. Nonpoisonous items found in nature – such as some mushroo ....
