  1. Beautiful species, so unusual to see the teeth also on the stem itself. Posted 5 years ago
    1. It is a really pretty one. They appear to especially abundant this year. I have another photo I haven’t had a chance to upload yet of a cluster of small ones. They are apparently the same species, but look quite different. I also found out that these can be used to dye wool blue Posted 5 years ago, modified 5 years ago

''Sarcodon fuscoindicus'' is a species of tooth fungus in the genus ''Sarcodon''. Found in the western United States, it produces fruit bodies with a violet-black cap, violet flesh, and violet spines on the cap underside. The fungus was first described by K.A.Harrison in 1964 as a species of ''Hydnum'', then transferred to ''Sarcodon'' in 1967 by Rudolph Arnold Maas Geesteranus. He placed this species in section ''Violacei'' of ''Sarcodon'', along with ''S. talpa'' and ''S. joides''.
