This latest offering to the YouTube world from Mushroom Wonderland is a video explaining all the things you should know about the bleeding tooth fungus, aka the devils tooth fungi, aka strawberries and cream. This interesting can be found growing near conifer trees in the Pacific Northwest, and it has been discovered in many other places around the world.
This odd mushroom excretes a blood red guttation on its cap that can look like...well..blood. Hence the name "Bleeding tooth." The tooth part is actually because this is a 'tooth fungi' and instead of having gills, veins, or pores, it has small tooth-like projections under the cap and down the stipe.
This beautiful fungi can be used as a medicinal mushroom and has anti-coagulant properties, anti-bacterial properties, and may be used in treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
It may look delicious or maybe it looks scary to you- you will have to watch the video to find out which one it is!
