Hericium fimbriatum

A tooth fungus described by Howard Banker in 1906 from Pennsylvania, with long teeth (6–8 mm) and protruding cystidia. It is known essentially from its type, and its microscopic features resemble Mycoacia aurea, so its placement in Hericium may be doubtful. Nothing is known about cultivating it.
