This will show why some fungi are called, Tooth Fungus. Rather neat I think.

I wasn't sure whether to click into this topic, judging by the title. Pleasantly surprised.

Amazing picture! I myself never actually thought of photographing a mushroom before.
Another thing which I just remembered (told to me by my father when I was very young), is that the more beautiful a mushroom is - The more there is a chance of it being poisonous.
So is there any truth to this? Or is it just a myth? By beautiful I mean colorful, and/or eye-catching.

Gosh they really do resemble teeth don't they? I never knew that such a mushroom existed. Once again I've learned something new from you Kildale.

Nice 'shrooms. They need to floss.

Thanks for the posts. Not sure if you can eat it, I wouldn't think so, but I don't eat any of them.
