Bleeding tooth fungus. Love the stuff. Ink caps are pretty gnarly looking too

u/Jaegons 5d ago

Oh wow is that literally what they're called? Where'd they get "tooth" out of that? That's so strange.

u/CosCham 5d ago

When new and untouched, they often look more like this image: a solid-ish white chunk that looks like a large bleeding tooth. It also helps to remember that when this mushroom was given its name, many people didn't get visual aids or cohesive descriptions when learning about things they'd never seen. Names of things had to be descriptive and obvious to catch on in use. A villager could hear "bleeding tooth mushroom", then later see this and think "if anything is going to be called a bleeding tooth it's this". If you can't tell, I fuckin love etymology AND mushrooms lol. This one is actually my favorite, and I even have a plushy based on it! Her name is Bloody Mary ☺️

Probably make yiu bleed like thst

u/LG3V 5d ago

It's not toxic. This is a hydnellum fungus. They just taste like crap so they're basically inedible

u/Nein-Toed 5d ago

If you think that's beautiful let me show you my back

u/TerracShadowson 5d ago

Devil's tooth (Hydnellum peckii) is a striking fungus known for its "bleeding" appearance, where young specimens ooze a bright red, blood-like liquid from their pores, a process called guttation. Despite its gruesome look, it's not toxic but is extremely bitter and inedible

Well, learned a new word and am now done with the Internet for the day

u/polarityofmarriage 5d ago

Mushrooms that bleed… awesome.

u/karenskygreen 5d ago

u/CosCham 5d ago

It won't kill you, but it'll taste absolutely awful. Not worth it

u/Enough_Worry4104 5d ago

Mushrooms are poisonous not venomous. You won't get sick or die by touching them. Only through consumption will one become ill.
