Hydnum umbilicatum, commonly known as the depressed hedgehog,[3] is a species of tooth fungus in the family Hydnaceae. It was scientifically described in 1902 from New York by American mycologist Charles Horton Peck.[4] It is found in eastern North America. It is edible[3][5] and good.[6]

Hydnum umbilicatum has been found to be associated with pines.[7]

Can be confused with Hydnum repandum, also known as the Wood Hedgehog. These two can be distinguished by their size and distribution, with H. repandum being a much larger species found in Europe.
