    This will show why some fungi are called, Tooth Fungus. Rather neat I think.

    I wasn't sure whether to click into this topic, judging by the title. Pleasantly surprised.

    Yes, now I look at the title it does sound like you want to give it a miss.

    Amazing picture! I myself never actually thought of photographing a mushroom before.

    Another thing which I just remembered (told to me by my father when I was very young), is that the more beautiful a mushroom is - The more there is a chance of it being poisonous.

    So is there any truth to this? Or is it just a myth? By beautiful I mean colorful, and/or eye-catching.

    Gosh they really do resemble teeth don't they? I never knew that such a mushroom existed. Once again I've learned something new from you Kildale. :-D

    Thanks for the posts. Not sure if you can eat it, I wouldn't think so, but I don't eat any of them.
