Hydnellum fuligineoviolaceum

Hydnellum fuligineoviolaceum is a species of tooth fungus in the family Bankeraceae. It was originally described in 1874 by Hungarian mycologist Károly Kalchbrenner as "Hydnum fuligineoviolaceum", in Elias Fries's work "Hymenomycetes europaei". Narcisse Théophile Patouillard transferred it to the genus "Sarcodon" in 1900. "Sarcodon talpa", published by Rudolph Arnold Maas Geesteranus in 1967, is a synonym.
In 2004 "Hydnellum fuligineoviolaceum" was one of 33 species proposed for protection under the Bern Convention by the European Council for Conservation of Fungi.
