Sarcodon
''Sarcodon'' is a genus of fungi in the family Bankeraceae, which is part of the order Thelephorales, known for its almost universal ectomycorrhizal ecology. The genus owes its name to the presence of teeth-like spines on the hymenophore, from ancient Greek; ''sarco'' = flesh and ''odon'' = tooth. For this reason they are commonly called "tooth fungi", or " Hydnoid fungi". Description ''Sarcodon'' species have yellow to brown tinted basidiospores, with lengths in the range of 7.4–9 μm. The basidiomata are often soft and fleshy. Species , Index Fungorum listed 49 valid species of ''Sarcodon''. However, in 2019 Larsson ''et al.'' transferred 12 species into the genus ''Hydnellum''. In 2024, Douch ''et al.'' transferred '' Sarcodon carbonarius'' to the genus '' Neosarcodon''. * '' Sarcodon aglaosoma'' * '' Sarcodon atroviridis'' * '' Sarcodon austrofibulatus'' * '' Sarcodon bubalinus'' * '' Sarcodon caliginosus'' * '' Sarcodon calvatus'' * '' Sarcodon catalaunicus'' * ...

Hydnellum
''Hydnellum'' is a genus of tooth fungi in the family Bankeraceae (order Thelephorales). Widely distributed in the Northern Hemisphere, the genus contains around 40 species. The basidiocarp, fruitbodies of its members grow by slowly enveloping nearby bits of grass and vegetation. There is great variability in the form of ''Hydnellum'' fruitbodies, which are greatly influenced by environmental conditions such as rainfall and humidity, drying winds, and temperature. They are too tough and woody to eat comfortably. Several species have become the focus of increasing conservation biology, conservation concern following widespread declines in abundance. ''Hydnellum'' species produce pigments that have been used to dye textiles. Several chemical compounds—some with unique biological activity—have been isolated and identified from the genus. One of the better-known species is the unusual pinkish-white ''Hydnellum peckii'', also known as "strawberries and cream" or as the "bleeding ...
