Description
Tooth fungi is a family of fungi that can usually be recognized by the downward hanging teeth or spines that dangle from their fruiting bodies. All the fungi in this family are saprophobic, which simply means that they derive nutrients from decomposing organic matter. You are most likely to find these fungi in their preferred temperate climates.
