Everything about Hydnum Repandum totally explained
The
Hedgehog mushroom (
Hydnum repandum) is a
basidiomycete mushroom of the Family
Hydnaceae.
It is broadly distributed in North America and Europe and found singly or in groups in
coniferous or
deciduous woodland.

Chanterelle (
Cantharellus cibarius).
Description
The orange-, yellow- or tan-colored
pileus (cap) is up to 8 inches (20 cm) wide and generally somewhat irregular in shape (it may be convex or concave at maturity). The underside is covered with small white spines reminiscent of those of a
hedgehog. The
stipes (stem) is either white or the same color as the cap, and is sometimes off-center.
Edibility
Although distinctive in appearance, the hedgehog mushroom can be confused with non-edible species. Do not rely on Wikipedia alone when identifying mushrooms for consumption.
The hedgehog mushroom is considered to be a good edible, having a sweet, nutty taste and a crunchy texture.
