Sarcodon rimosus

Sarcodon rimosus, commonly known as the cracked hydnum,[2] is a species of tooth fungus in the family Bankeraceae.

Found in the Pacific Northwest region of North America, it was described as new to science in 1964 by mycologist Kenneth A. Harrison, who initially called it Hydnum rimosum.

Underneath the cap cuticle, the flesh turns a bluish-green color when tested with a solution of potassium hydroxide.

The brownish-pinks spines on the cap underside are typically 2.5–7 mm long, extending decurrently on the stipe.

[3] Sarcodon rimosus is common in the states of Idaho, Oregon, and Washington, where it fruits in groups under pines,[3] or in coniferous forest.
