Strawberries and cream

I was out in the woods looking for fungi yesterday….the last thing I’d expected to find in the dark coniferous woods was strawberries and cream ;) No, I didn’t eat them, leaving them for the elves…

Called strawberries and cream, the bleeding tooth fungus, the red-juice tooth, or  Devil’s tooth,  Hydnellum peckii (Norwegian: skarp rustbrunpigg) is a widespread species in North America, Europe and Asia.  It is related to the hedgehog fungus. Sadly, it doesn’t taste much like strawberries and cream, tasting very sharp…
