Hydnum oregonense is a species of tooth fungus in the family Hydnaceae.[1] It was scientifically described in 2018 by Norvell, Liimat. & Niskanen.[2]

The cap is 1.5–4 centimetres (121 12 in) wide and tan–orange, with whitish areas. The teeth are 2–6 millimetres (1814 in) long. The stem is 2–5 cm (34–2 in) long and 5–10 mm (1438 in) thick. The flesh is whitish. The spore print is white.[3] A few species in the genus are more robust and lack navels. Other lookalikes include Mycorphapium adustum and species of Hydnellum and Phellodon.[3]

It is found near the west coast of North America, where it grows from November to March under conifer and tan oak trees. It is edible.[3]
