History & Facts
The Hedgehog Mushroom (Hydnum repandum), also known as Sweet Tooth or Wood Hedgehog, is easily recognized by its spiny underside. Instead of gills or pores, it has small teeth or spines - hence the English name "Hedgehog Mushroom".
Culinarily, it is prized in France as "Pied de Mouton" (Sheep's Foot). Its taste is mild, slightly peppery with nutty notes. The great advantage: it is rarely wormy and keeps well.
In the kitchen, it excels in sauces, as a side dish, or pickled. Young specimens can even be used raw in salads.

Uwe's Secret Tip
"Hedgehog mushrooms are the perfect entry into wild mushroom cooking: robust, long-lasting, and practically never wormy. I recommend first dry-frying them in the pan until the moisture has evaporated, and only then adding butter and seasonings."
