“ The pileus of the species repandum is irregular in shape, depressed in the center, fleshy, and of a pale cinnamon or yellowish color. Flesh is firm and white, turning slightly brown when bruised. The spines are awl-shaped, of various sizes, crowded and running down; paler in color than the pileus. Stem solid, at first white, and then tawny cream color; spores round and white. There are no poisonous species in this genus, although some are too tough to be considered edible.The species repandum is the most desirable of the genus Hydnum. ”
