Shingled/Scaly Hedgehog fungus / Sarcodon imbricatus
Photographed on August 13th, when several of us botanized Rod Handfield's property, near Millarville (south of Calgary).
"Sarcodon imbricatus, commonly known as the shingled hedgehog or scaly hedgehog, is a species of tooth fungus in the order Thelephorales. The mushroom itself is edible, however, it has a bitter taste. The mushroom has a large, brownish cap with large brown scales and may reach 30 cm (12 in) in diameter. On the underside it sports greyish brittle teeth instead of gills, and has white flesh. The spore print is brown. It is associated with spruce (Abies), appearing in autumn." From Wikipedia.
This evening - it's taking forever to open any photo on Flickr, save a comment, etc.!
