Hydnellum peckii is an inedible fungus found in North America, Europe, and recently in Iran, the unusual appearance of the young fruit bodies has earned the fungus several descriptive common names, including strawberries and cream, the bleeding Hydnellum, the bleeding tooth fungus, the red-juice tooth, the Devil’s tooth, or Peck’s hydnum. Young, moist fruit bodies can “bleed” a bright red juice that contains a mushroom pigment known to have anticoagulant properties similar to heparin. Although the fruit bodies are readily identifiable when young, they become brown and nondescript when they age.
