Pseudohydnum gelatinosum is a species of fungus in the order Auriculariales. It has the recommended English name of jelly tooth,[1] a reference to its gelatinous consistency and hydnoid (toothed) undersurface. The species was thought to be cosmopolitan, but recent DNA evidence suggests that it is confined to Europe and northern Asia, with superficially-similar (but distinct) taxa elsewhere.[2] A subspecies, Pseudohydnum gelatinosum ssp. pusillum, is found in North America.[3] P. gelatinosum grows on dead conifer wood.[4]
The jelly tooth is edible, and it is consumed as a wild food in parts of Bulgaria, Russia , and Siberia.[5] The fungus can be eaten raw.[6]
