Description
Members of the Hydnaceae mushroom family are often called tooth fungi because of the tooth-like spines that hang below their fruiting bodies. The mushrooms in this family are ectomycorrhizal, meaning that they form symbiotic relationships with the roots of trees and plants. Hydnaceae mushrooms are typically yellow, orange, or white in color.
