Hydnellum glaucopus

Hydnellum glaucopus is a species of tooth fungus in the family Bankeraceae. Found in Europe, it was described as new to science in 1969 by mycologists Rudolph Arnold Maas Geesteranus and John Axel Nannfeldt.[2] Fruit bodies contain cyathane diterpenes called glaucopins that have anti-inflammatory activity in laboratory tests.[3][4] It is considered vulnerable in Switzerland.[5]
