This Blood Fungus Looks A little Too Much Like This Mexican Dish
When I first saw this Bleeding Tooth Fungus, my first thought was sick! . Then, I was intrigued. The Bleeding Tooth Fungus, or the Hydnellum peckii is a hydnoid species, producing spores on the surface of vertical spines or tooth-like projections that hang from the undersurface of the fruit bodies. It is found in North America, Europe, and was recently discovered in Iran (2008) and Korea (2010) and Fraser Island, Australia (2019).
Yeah, I m not entirely sure what all that means, all I know is that somewhere out there is this nightmare looking shroom that secretes some blood looking sap and I must find it! The cool thing about this fungus is that it has some really cool nicknames, like strawberries and cream, the bleeding Hydnellum, the bleeding tooth fungus, the red-juice tooth, and the Devil s tooth.
