Full Project Details
Project Description
The Hydnum Project was initiated because there’s something in it for everyone. With those teeth, neophytes can rest assured they’ve found a Hydnum – and bonus, some Hydnum species are prized edibles! More experienced individuals will have realized the need for: 1) research to determine what species we have in the province; and 2) the development of a local Hydnum key to help us reliably tease the species apart.
Please read the newest journal update from Andrus Voitk, that provides context and updated information about how to key out our NL Hydnum species.
Photo Documentation
Start by taking a step back and photographing the Hydnum in its surrounding environment. Then photo document the cap, stipe, and teeth. Yes, we’re very interested in those teeth and how they connect to the stipe! Take all the time you need in order to get clear, crisp images because that’s what the iNaturalist experts need for identification. For additional tips on how to photograph specimens, please watch the video tutorial “How to Take Better Photos for iNaturalist”

Specimen Description
The description of the specimen is as important as the photograph. Record where you found the specimen, what it was growing in, and what types of trees and plant growth were nearby. Please provide a detailed description of the Hydnum’s cap (colour and texture), stipe, and teeth – their relative size, colour, and attachment, (slightly decurrent/not decurrent). Measure the cap and stipe. Tell us how the specimen smelled and tasted (optional). Finally, if you have a microscope, please record the spore size and number of sterigmata on basidia. For additional tips on how to document and submit an observation to the Foray NL Hydnum Project, please see iNaturalist’s video tutorial on “Adding an Observation on a Mobile Device or via the Web."
