Hydnellum peckii (Bleeding Tooth Fungus) Banker 1912
fungi species in the bankeraceae family
Hydnellum peckii is a fungus in the genus Hydnellum of the family Bankeraceae. The unusual appearance of the young fruit bodies has earned the species several descriptive common names, including strawberries and cream, the bleeding Hydnellum, the bleeding tooth fungus, the red-juice tooth, and the Devil's tooth. The fruit bodies typically have a funnel-shaped cap with a white edge, although the shape can vary greatly. Young, moist fruit bodies can "bleed" bright red guttation droplets. Although the fruit bodies are readily identifiable when young, they become brown and nondescript with age.
Phellodon tomentosus (Woolly Tooth) (L.) Banker 1906
fungi species in the thelephoraceae family
Phellodon tomentosus, commonly known as the zoned phellodon or zoned cork hydnum, is a species of tooth fungus in the family Bankeraceae. First described as Hydnum tomentosum by Carl Linnaeus in 1753, it was transferred to the genus Phellodon by Howard James Banker in 1906. The brown cap is 1.5–5 cm wide, broad, flat, or funnel-shaped, sometimes fused with others, zoned with a white margin, dry, thin, and fragrant-smelling; the taste is mild to bitter. The spines on the undersurface are 1–3 mm long, grayish-brown with pale tips, some running down the upper portion of the stalk. The flesh is
Hydnellum geogenium (Fr.) Banker 1913
fungi species in the bankeraceae family
Hydnellum geogenium is a species of tooth fungus in the family Bankeraceae. The fungus is found in Europe and North America, where it grows in coniferous woods. It is inedible. Fruitbodies of the fungus contain a yellow pigment compound called geogenin.
Hydnellum concrescens (Zoned Tooth) (Pers.) Banker 1906
fungi species in the bankeraceae family
Hydnellum concrescens is an inedible fungus, commonly known as the zoned hydnellum or zoned tooth fungus. As with other tooth fungi, the spores are produced on spines on the underside of the cap, rather than gills. It has a funnel-shaped cap, typically between 2 and 7 cm (0.79 and 2.76 in) in diameter, which has characteristic concentric zones of color. The cap may also have radial ridges extending from the center to the margins. The spines are pink in young specimens, but turn brown with age. This species is very similar in appearance to Hydnellum scrobiculatum, and traditionally, largely
Hydnodon thelephorus (Lév.) Banker 1913
fungi species in the hydnodontaceae family
Hydnodon is a fungal genus in the family Hydnodontaceae. A monotypic genus. it contains the single species Hydnodon thelephorus, transferred to Hydnodon by Howard James Banker in 1913.

Sarcodon atroviridis (Morgan) Banker 1906
fungi species in the bankeraceae family
Sarcodon atroviridis is a species of fungus in the family Bankeraceae found in North America and Asia. It was originally described in 1895 as Hydnum atroviride by Andrew Price Morgan. Howard James Banker transferred it to Sarcodon in 1906. The fungus is known from Asia and North America; in 2015 it was reported from Brazil. The specific epithet atroviridis means "blackish green". While not explicitly known to be poisonous, it is considered of poor edibility.
Phellodon putidus (G.F. Atk.) Banker 1906
fungi species in the thelephoraceae family
Phellodon putidus is a species of tooth fungus in the family Bankeraceae. Found in North America, it was first described scientifically by George F. Atkinson as Hydnum putidum in 1900. Howard James Banker transferred it to the genus Phellodon in 1906.
Hydnellum earlianum Banker 1906
fungi species in the bankeraceae family
Hydnellum earlianum, commonly known as Earl's hydnum, is a tooth fungus in the family Bankeraceae found in North America. It was described as new to science in 1906 by Howard James Banker from collections originally made in Georgia. The specific epithet honors mycologist Franklin Sumner Earle, "whose excellent field notes have frequently aided in the discrimination of species in this family".
Hydnellum complicatum Banker 1906
fungi species in the bankeraceae family
Hydnellum complicatum is a tooth fungus in the family Bankeraceae. Found in North America, it was described as new to science by mycologist Howard James Banker in 1906 from collections made in New York. Banker, who described the fruitbody as "irregular and complicated", considered it closely related to H. floriforme, differing in its reddish color and smaller spores.

Hericium fimbriatum Banker 1906
fungi species in the hericiaceae family
Hericium fimbriatum is a species of fungus in the family Hericiaceae native to Pennsylvania, USA, first described by Howard James Banker in 1906. It has long teeth (6–8 mm) and fusiform cystidia that protrude through the hymenium. Its basidiospores are 4.3-5.5 × 1.5-2 μm big, and together with other microscopic features resemble those of Mycoacia aurea.
Sarcodon scabripes (Peck) Banker 1906
fungi species in the bankeraceae family
Sarcodon scabripes is a species of fungus in the family Bankeraceae found in Asia, Europe, and North America. It was originally described in 1897 as Hydnum scabripes by Charles Horton Peck. Howard James Banker transferred it to the genus Sarcodon in 1906. The fungus makes fruit bodies with a drab gray to flesh-colored cap, and flesh that is white. In addition to the United States, where it was first documented, S. scabripes has been reported from Japan and the Sverdlovsk Oblast region of Russia.
Sarcodon roseolus Banker 1913
fungi species in the bankeraceae family
Sarcodon roseolus is a species of tooth fungus in the family Bankeraceae. Found in North America, it was described as new to science in 1913 by mycologist Howard James Banker, who collected the type specimens in North Carolina.
Hydnum albomagnum Banker 1901
fungi species in the hydnaceae family
Hydnum albomagnum, commonly known as the giant hedgehog, is a species of fungus in the family Hydnaceae native to North and Central America.
Hydnellum rickeri Banker 1913
fungi species in the bankeraceae family
Hydnellum rickeri is a tooth fungus in the family Bankeraceae. Found in North America, it was described as new to science in 1913 by mycologist Howard James Banker from collections made in Orono, Maine. It is named after botanist Percy L. Ricker, who collected the type specimen. Fruit bodies are dingy brown to olive-colored, and have a strong, spicy odor (somewhat resembling melilot) that persists after they have dried.
Hydnellum conigenum (Peck) Banker 1906
fungi species in the bankeraceae family
Hydnellum conigenum, commonly known as the funnel hydnum, is a species of tooth fungus in the family Bankeraceae found in North America. It was first described in 1903 by American mycologist Charles Horton Peck from collections made growing on fallen cones of ponderosa pine, near the base of the Moscow Mountains (Moscow, Idaho). Peck thought it was similar to H. aurantiacum, differing in its smaller size, more slender stipe, non-zoned flesh, more even cap, and somewhat unusual substrate. Howard James Banker transferred it to the genus Hydnellum in 1906. Its range extends from New Mexico to
