Extract from Wikipedia article: Sarcodon imbricatus, commonly known as the shingled hedgehog or scaly hedgehog, is a species of tooth fungus in the order Thelephorales. The mushroom is edible. Many sources report it has a bitter taste, but others have found it delicious and suspect that the bitter specimens may be similar related species. The mushroom has a large, brownish cap with large brown scales and may reach 30 cm (12 in) in diameter. On the underside it sports greyish, brittle teeth instead of gills, and has white flesh. Its spore print is brown. It is associated with spruce (Picea), appearing in autumn. It ranges throughout North America and Europe, although collections from the British Isles are now assigned to the similar species Sarcodon squamosus.
Sarcodon imbricatus is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Bankeraceae. It is characterized by its brown to dark brown cap with imbricate scales, white to pale yellow pores, and a white to brownish stem. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, Sarcodon imbricatus typically grows in coniferous forests, particularly under spruce and pine trees, during late summer and early fall. It is considered a rare species in the region, but can be found in areas with rich soil and abundant organic matter. The fungus is edible, but not widely consumed due to its relatively small size and limited distribution.
Shingled hedgehog mushrooms (Sarcodon imbricatus) on display on mushroom exhibition in Botanic Institute. Saint Petersburg, Russia, September 20, 2013The fungus Sarcodon imbricatus has been observed in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia, with notable sightings including a display of shingled hedgehog mushrooms at the Botanic Institute in Saint Petersburg on September 20, 2013. This species is typically found in coniferous forests, particularly those dominated by spruce and pine trees. In these regions, Sarcodon imbricatus tends to fruit in late summer to early autumn, with a preference for moist, acidic soils. Observations suggest that the fungus can form mycorrhizal relationships with various tree species, playing a role in forest ecosystems. The distribution of Sarcodon imbricatus in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia appears to be widespread, with records from multiple locations indicating a relatively common presence in the area's coniferous forests. Further study is needed to fully understand the ecological significance of this species in these regions.
