Orange Hydnellum


This beautiful orange fungus was a new one for me, seen in West Bragg Creek Natural Area, Kananaskis on 12th September.
"Hydnellum aurantiacum is an inedible fungus, commonly known as the orange tooth or orange Hydnellum for its reddish orange or rusty red colored fruiting bodies. Like other tooth fungi, it bears a layer of spines rather than gills on the underside of the cap. Due to substantial declines in sightings, this species is listed as critically endangered in the United Kingdom." .... Fruiting bodies are shallowly funnel-shaped (infundibuliform), and up to 15 cm in diameter. The upper surface is orange or orange-brown in the centre, with a lighter margin. It may be velvety or tomentose when young, but will become wrinkled or lumpy in age. The flesh is tough and woody, pale to dark orange-brown in color, without any distinctive odor but a bitter or mealy taste." From Wikipedia.
