Sweet Tooth Mushroom

Also known as Wood Hedgehog, Hedgehog Mushroom, Pig's Trotter

Sweet Tooth Mushrooms form mycorrhizal relationships with a wide variety of deciduous and coniferous trees, helping host roots absorb minerals from the surrounding soil. Instead of traditional gills or pores, the underside of the pale cream to buff cap features dense, hanging spines or teeth that release white spores at maturity. These fungi emerge in late summer and autumn, appearing singly, in scattered groups, or occasionally fusing into dense fairy rings across the forest floor.
