Description
Hydnellum is known for its intriguing and often unusual tooth-like appearance on the underside of its cap, rather than traditional gills. Some species produce strikingly vibrant blue or red pigmentation, adding a splash of color to forest floors. They typically partner with trees, forming symbiotic relationships that benefit both organisms. The strong, earthy scent of hydnellum distinctively marks their presence in the wild, making them a fascinating group for nature enthusiasts to encounter.
