Hydnellum peckii is a non-toxic species of fungi that is inedible due to its incredibly bitter taste.
They produce spores on their spines or grow tooth-like projections under their fruit bodies.
When fresh and moist, thick red fluid oozes out of the fruit bodies, giving it its striking appearance!
Extracts of this fungus contain an effective anticoagulant that also has antibacterial properties.
They are often used to create colour dyes, ranging from brown to shades of blue or green.
It is also known as the Devil's Tooth, strawberry and cream, the red-juice tooth, or the bleeding tooth fungus.
