Found this big beautiful Regal Black Tooth (Hydnellum regium)

These are highly prized for dying fabrics. They tend to turn all black as they get older which has led to them being given another name: "the bear poop fungus" because a few too many dyers have gotten their hands unspeakably dirty in eagerness to reach for what they thought was this mushroom.

I don't dye fabric myself but I was able to give this one away to a friend who can put it to good use.
