Sarcodon wrightii is a species of tooth fungus in the family Bankeraceae.
It was first described in 1860 by Miles Berkeley and Moses Ashley Curtis as Hydnum wrightii.
They were sent a specimen collected from Japan as part of the North Pacific Exploring and Surveying Expedition (1853–56).
[2] Rudolph Arnold Maas Geesteranus transferred it to the genus Sarcodon in 1967.
The fungus produces roughly spherical spores that are tuberculate (covered in warts) and measure 5.5–6.5 by 4.5–5.5 μm.
