Wood Hedgehog (Pied de Mouton)
Hydnum Repandum

Perseverance pays as this mushroom has great culinary value and is much sought after by collectors.  The season is late summer to mid Winter. After cleaning, the smaller specimens can be cooked whole or else sliced. With larger specimens it is probably best to remove the spines, as although quite edible, they look like small hairs and could spoil the appearance of the finished dish. This is a very versatile mushroom, going very well with both meat and fish dishes, but it is worth trying some of their own for their excellent flavor.

"Almost fruity taste, with plenty of staying power for stews..."
