Wild Mushrooms-Sweet Tooth or Hedgehog-Hydnum repandum
This is one of my favorites. The sweet tooth mushroom or in this area they are called the hedgehog mushroom is very plentiful here in upper Michigan. Season starts in July an goes though September. I have my best luck foraging for the Sweet Tooth mushroom starting around the beginning of August and though the middle part of September.When my kids were younger-this was their favorite. They would come running to the door when I got home to see if I had found any.
This mushroom is good tasting an very easy to identify.
Instead of gills it has spines. The cap is good size 1 ¼ to 6 inches. The color is cinnamon brown to white. The stem is tapered at the base and the same color as the cap. The spore print color is white.
If you aren’t sure what you are picking don’t eat it. If you are new to mushroom hunting consult an expert for positive identification.

I have never tried this variety. I sometimes am afraid of getting the wrong ones so I stick with certain types I am very familiar with. Chantrelles are one of my favs. Do you have those in Mi?
Yes we do have Chantrelles, They are one of my favorites.
There is some wonderful terrain for harvesting these mushrooms on the west slope of the Cascades (Oregon) where I live. The funny thing is that these are a middle of winter mushroom out here…
