Extract from Wikipedia article: 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. Fruit bodies contain cyathane diterpenes called glaucopins that have anti-inflammatory activity in laboratory tests. It is considered vulnerable in Switzerland.
Sarcodon glaucopus is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Bankeraceae. It is characterized by its blue-grey to greyish-brown cap, 3-8 cm in diameter, with a velvety to scaly surface, and a stipe of similar color, 2-5 cm long and 0.5-1.5 cm thick. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, Sarcodon glaucopus typically grows in coniferous forests, especially under spruce and pine trees, from late summer to early autumn. It is considered a rare species in the region, but can be found in areas with rich soil and adequate moisture. Fruit bodies are often solitary or scattered, and the fungus is thought to form mycorrhizal relationships with surrounding tree roots.
