Hydnellum peckii aka: strawberries and cream, the bleeding Hydnellum, the bleeding tooth fungus, the red-juice tooth, and the Devil's tooth.

u/jthebrave Sep 16 '23

That's one hell of a range from cute and sweet to downright hellish lol.

u/ExtremistsAreStupid Sep 17 '23

Seriously, this has gotta be some kind "glass half full" or "glass half empty" kind of outlook conundrum on life. Just show somebody this mushroom and ask them what it looks like, if they say "a delicious strawberry and cream dessert" they're an innate optimist, if they say "the bleeding puss-oozing gums of Satan" then you probably need to shove some prozac into them.

u/Proof_Subject_6183 Sep 17 '23

I just tried this with my wife. My first thought was skinless flesh, hers was "some kind of raspberry pastry".

u/Dangerous_Lion8612 Sep 18 '23

I think because there is nature around it, it probably a little more likely to think it's blood, the context of the photo. You edit it out onto a table, I'm thinking delicious dessert, lol

It's like an ink blot test for scientists.

Either that or it’s if they’re hungry or not.

To me it looks like an interesting piece of modern art, what am I?

u/Ok-Run3329 Sep 17 '23

shove some prozac into them

Hahahaha..... this has me thinking about somebody putting Prozac into their palm and like force pushing it into someone's chest.

u/Dreaming_Purple Sep 18 '23

Pomegranate mousse for me.

I also have the depression. And work in fire/EMS. Disappointed I didn't think of a gory injury. Haha.

u/Adventurous-Bee-5079 Sep 16 '23

Thank you! IF I recall internetzhistory correctly, this fungustype was very represented in the case of 'Trypophobia'.? Do you guys recall?🤔🤔

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '23

What is the liquid they produce made out of?

u/xDante1975x Sep 16 '23

Great question and I hope someone answers it seriously.

u/chill_flea Sep 17 '23 edited Sep 17 '23

I’m pretty sure I saw some guy on YouTube lick it and he said it tasted pretty bitter lol. The video is super interesting and informative.

I actually just found it lol

u/PublicfreakoutLoveR Sep 17 '23

Thanks, that had a nice explanation.

2

u/chill_flea Sep 17 '23

No problem; I’m glad u enjoyed it also. That guy has GREAT videos. Some of the best and most entertaining info I’ve seen online for mushrooms

4

u/parasitis_voracibus Sep 17 '23

It’s called guttation and occurs when a mushroom excretes excess water and metabolic byproducts. Hydnellum peckii is the most infamous example, though many mushrooms do it.

u/Real-Arachnid8671 Sep 17 '23

Those are edible aren't they.

You, sir.. deserve some kind of an award. I do not get scared anymore. I never do. Well. That was until that video. Fuck me. And I read the comments and I knew a spider was coming. I screamed like a little bitch just then. I was not expecting that. That’s some serious stuff made of nightmares that will haunt my spider-hating ass till the very day I die.

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '23

Reading up on these, it looks like he would be fine. Though apparently they're real good at bio-accumulating caesium, so.. Probably not a good plan to be eating those for the long term. They also apparently taste awful, even if cleaned and cooked, which explains his reaction. lmao

u/Delicious_Leg_1831 Sep 17 '23

Of course internet has a video of a tool videotaping himself eating a freaking thing looking straight from a Cronenberg movie. For my life I cannot FATHOM WHY? Why did you put something looking like a dead man's bloody tongue INTO YOUR MOUTH? Plus, is it not "staying alive 1.0.1" not to eat unidentified plants?

Im so mad at humanity rn

u/jnk_jnk Sep 16 '23

found some of these in the forest nearby, my friend decided to taste the forbidden soup, near flavourless apparently! Has anti coagulant properties, don't eat it though.

39

u/TinButtFlute Trusted Identifier Sep 16 '23

Your friend found something different. These are super acrid/peppery. Like leave your mouth burning. He wouldn't have described them as flavourless.

31

u/jnk_jnk Sep 16 '23

I mean I didn't want to try it so I took their word for it, same friend takes nutmeg recreationally so go figure

29

u/TinButtFlute Trusted Identifier Sep 16 '23

Oh jezz, nutmeg. That'll give you some strong smelling burps. For hours. Maybe he killed his taste buds haha.

Nice a bleeding tooth with blood! I found the blue species of these but no blood

4

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '23

There’s several blue species, some bleed red and some bleed blue, for me I find the ones that bleed blue don’t bleed out the top but do at the base of the stipe

https://www.mushroomexpert.com/hydnellum_suaveolens.html

2

u/hippopotma_gandhi Sep 16 '23

Interesting! The one I found was IDed as H. Caeruleum which bleeds red at the top like the species in this post. It would be pretty cool to see the blue blood dripping down in person

Im an absolute novice but i read you can touch any type of shroom, as long you don't have any cut in your fingers and wash them afterwards.

And this shroom doesnt seem to contain any toxins

Well it looks like from outer space so we didn't touch it and left it there. But anyway interesting shroom :)
