The Ochre Spreading Tooth

''Steccherinum ochraceum'', known as ochre spreading tooth, is a hydnoid fungus of the family Steccherinaceae. It is a plant pathogen infecting sweetgum trees. It was originally described as ''Hydnum ochraceum'' by Johann Friedrich Gmelin in 1792, and later transferred to the genus ''Steccherinum'' in 1821 by Samuel Frederick Gray in 1821.
