Hericium coralloides confirmation
    #26921102 - 09/06/20 12:32 PM (3 years, 5 months ago)

Hey everyone, so I found what I believe to be comb tooth fungus, or Hericium coralloides. But since this is my first time meeting this fungus I wanted some confirmation before I take a clone, unfortunately I didn't find enough to eat. Also I don't know how to even start to go about getting a spore print from this thing. Should I just lay it on some foil and not worry about the direction it lays?

Habitat: found growing on a fallen American beech tree.

Gills: short tooth like projections.
/
Stem: fairly thick at the base then branching off into several small branches.

Cap: none.

Spore print: not sure.

Bruising: none.

General location: Northern NY Canadian border.

Definitely H. coralloides. Found a huge patch of em in a giant hollow beech today, right after finding H. americanum. Had to reach my arm all the way in to grab the good fruits, left some hanging out of reach. Yummy stuff!

The teeth on H. coralloides are smaller than the other two species. H. americanus has branching, and is somewhat simalar to H. coralloides, but the teeth are longer. H. erinaceus dosn't branch and has similar length teeth to H. americanus. Definitely helps to examine both species together, if you get lucky!

I agree, looks like Hericium coralloides. Nice find!
