Hydnum umbilicatum, commonly known as the depressed hedgehog,[3] is a species of tooth fungus in the family Hydnaceae. It was scientifically described in 1902 from New York by American mycologist Charles Horton Peck.[4]

The cap is 2.5–4.5 centimetres (1–1 34 in) wide with spines up to 7 millimetres (14 in) long. The stem is 2–6 cm (342 14 in) long and 0.5–1 cm (1412 in) thick.[3] The spore print is white. The species be confused with Hydnum repandum, a much larger species found in Europe.[3]

Hydnum umbilicatum is found in eastern North America and associated with pines. The mushroom is edible[3][5][6] and good.[6]
