Glatter Braunsporstacheling

Sarcodon leucopus is a tooth fungus producing a fleshy, brownish cap studded with pale spines (teeth) on its underside instead of gills or pores. It forms ectomycorrhizal associations with conifers and broadleaf trees in European temperate and boreal forests. Near Threatened, this species is sensitive to nitrogen deposition and the loss of old-growth forest habitats.
