Hydnellum fuligineoviolaceum is a species of tooth fungus in the family Bankeraceae.

It was originally described in 1874 by Hungarian mycologist Károly Kalchbrenner as Hydnum fuligineoviolaceum, in Elias Fries's work Hymenomycetes europaei.

[3] Narcisse Théophile Patouillard transferred it to the genus Sarcodon in 1900.

[4] Sarcodon talpa, published by Rudolph Arnold Maas Geesteranus in 1967,[5] is a synonym.

[2] In 2004 Hydnellum fuligineoviolaceum was one of 33 species proposed for protection under the Bern Convention by the European Council for Conservation of Fungi.
