An unusual creation of nature - Hydnellum Peckii - Bleeding tooth fungus, also known as Devil's Tooth or Red-Juice Tooth.
This fungusmushroom is scientifically known as hydnellum peckii, but it's called the Bleeding tooth fungus because it has a thick red liquid that seeps through its tiny pores, creating the illusion of blood. The red liquid droplets come out of the hat gives Bleeding Tooth its common name and reputation as unique.
As the fungus ages, it stops bleeding and eventually turns brown.
Despite its terrifying appearance, the mushroom is not poisonous. It is not recommend to eat it - the taste has been described as very bitter.
