Hydnellum fuscoindicum, commonly known as the violet hedgehog,[3] is a species of tooth fungus in the genus Hydnellum. It is found in the Pacific Northwest in moss around western hemlocks.[4] It produces fruit bodies with a violet-black cap, violet flesh, and violet spines on the cap underside. The odor and taste are very farinaceous.[4] The fungus was first described by Kenneth A. Harrison in 1964 as a species of Hydnum,[5] then transferred to Sarcodon in 1967 by Rudolph Arnold Maas Geesteranus. He placed this species in section Violacei of Sarcodon, along with H. fuligineoviolaceum and H. joeides.[6]
