Strange!

Hydnellum peckii, or Bleeding Tooth fungus: Kennebunk, Maine, USA. You just never know what you will find in the Southern Maine forest (or any forest for that matter). This strange-looking mushroom gets its common names from the drops of amber to red liquid that emerge from the fruiting body. It is not always this lumpy. It is also called “strawberries and cream” and “Devil’s Tooth,” although “Dracula’s Tooth” might be more fitting. I am pretty sure I have never seen it before, and I certainly have never photographed it. Sony a6700. Sigma 16-300 Contemporary at 72mm equivalent field of view. Aperture with macro modifications. Processed in Photomator.
