Scaly tooth  (Sarcodon imbricatus)

Sarcodon imbricatus occurs throughout the northern temperate zone, in North America, Europe, and Asia (9). It is one of the most common stipitate hydnoids in Scotland (10), but is not known in Wales, and seems to be rare in England, where it occurs in Berkshire and Hampshire (12), with some records from Dorset and Breckland (1).

In Britain this species is associated with Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) (4) and larch (Larix decidua) and occurs in pine wood habitats (1).
