Thanks Mark. I love that name.

That looks good Tiz. They get way more irregular but then mine is still very tiny. http://www.discoverlife.org/20/q?search=Hydnum+repandum

Nice one Martin. Good link Tiz - we'll have to get them to correct the size there I think - 60mm surely.

Hej Martini. I found something that perhaps can be useful when searching for an ID. Wood hedgehog (hydnum repandum). I do not know it it has been found growing on dead wood... here is a link to start with http://fungimap.org.au/index.php/fduonline-home/287/294/all-target-species/P-hydnum-repandum I hope it helps.
