Scaly Hedgehog Fungus


LOL, I think I amazed myself when I saw how sharp this image was! This was such a stunning fungus, and I got the ID from friend, Doug, who saw this same fungus a few days before I did.
"Sarcodon imbricatus, commonly known as the shingled hedgehog or scaly hedgehog, is a species of tooth fungus in the order Thelephorales. The mushroom itself is edible, however, it has a bitter taste. The mushroom has a large, brownish cap with large brown scales and may reach 30 cm (12 in) in diameter. On the underside it sports greyish brittle teeth instead of gills, and has white flesh. The spore print is brown. It is associated with spruce (Abies), appearing in autumn." From Wikipedia.
