The Fungi world (30) : Tiered tooth

Here you see an old specimen of a rare and very unusual fungus which was until recently on the Red List of threatened species but has been removed in the last updated version.

It is often growing in a scar from a broken branch as can be seen in the picture.

This fungus is edible when young but this should be strongly advised against because the species is much too rare to be picked for the table !

Dutch name : Gelobde pruikzwam
German name : Dorniger Stachelbart
Latin name : Hericium cirrhatum

    Unglaublich wie viele Pilze du findest. Schöne Serie, vor allem weil es nicht so katalogisiert wirkt.

    Excellent light in this capture to show the detail of the mushroom, like the use of dof to add depth!!!
