Also in E a Greville collection labelled ‘near Edinb. 1822’ and Klotzsch unlocalized material simply annotated July-October 1830.
Often sold in mixtures of fresh ‘wild mushrooms’ in supermarkets during the late autumn. This is commonly called the Hedgehog Fungus but by some designated as Wood Urchin.
TFTaDMSSoCAR H. rufescens Terracota Hedgehog Often considered merely a variety of H. repandum, q.v., as in Stevenson but differs in spine attachment and stature, although some small, slender collections of H. repandum are difficult to separate; however, the present species has a greater proportion of 2-spored basidia! Records from Solway (Glen Cairn, 1 x 2000), Ross (Applecross Dennis, 1948), Forth (Roslin, under Fagus, 20 ix 1992), Tay (Aberfoyle, 12 x 1978; Kindrogan, 30 viii 1980; Dall, Rannoch, 12 x 1978), Dee (Linn of Dee, 22 viii 1978) and Clyde (Falls of Clyde & Kintyre). Known also from Arran, Skye, Mull, Colonsay, Berriedale Orkney, Three collections in E labelled Hydnum repandum may also represent this taxon, viz. Moray (Aviemore, ix 1938) and as var. rufescens; Klotzsch material labelled ‘repandum fung. Oct.1830’ and Greville material is from Balmutto, Fife Sept 1822. Distribution much the same as H. repandum as indicated in Stevenson. Material on sale in Super markets mixed with Cantharellus etc. as fresh ‘wild mushrooms’. This has also been designated as the Reddish Wood urchin but to most collectors is included within the Wood Hedgehog.
