Hedgehog Mushroom Hydnum Repandum
These large and fleshy fungi grow in all kinds of damp woodland. In France this prized esculent goes by the charming name of Pied de Mouton. Further evidence of the reputation of these 'tooth fungi' is hidden in the generic name Hydnum, which is derived from the Greek name for a truffle.
Distribution
Common in Britain and Ireland, Hydnum repandum occurs throughout mainland Europe and is also recorded from many parts of North America.
Hydnum repandum - Wood Hedgehog
Both the Wood Hedgehog and its close relative the Terracotta Hedgehog Hydnum rufescens tend to be gregarious, forming small clumps and occasionally fairy circles. The picture below shows Wood Hedgehogs in mixed woodland, where they have produced an almost complete fairy ring about four metres across.

Taxonomic history
In 1753 when Carl Linnaeus described this woodland mushroom he gave it the binomial scientific name Hydnum repandum, which was subsequently sanctioned (retained rather than being changed) by Elias Magnus Fries and remains its currently accepted scientific name.
Synonyms of Hydnum repandum include Dentinum repandum (L.) Gray.

Etymology
Hydnum, the genus name, comes from the Greek noun udnon or hudnon, a truffle. The specific epithet repandum is Latin and means bent back or turned up, and often part of edge of the cap of a Wood Hedgehog mushroom is indeed upturned.
