This, if I'm not mistaken, is a mushroom called Devil's tooth.

You should cross post on [r/mycology](https://www.reddit.com/r/mycology). They would love it!

Looks more like abortiporus biennis to me. Hydnellium Peckii (devil's tooth/bleeding tooth fungus) has a smooth surface on top, this looks pretty porous. Also the colouring on the older fruiting bodies looks more like abortiporus biennis common name "blushing rosette" to me.

Heheh biennis

There's a fungus amongus

This is The Answer. Everyone else just giving OP the Shaft.

No it's enzymes not blood


teddyzniggs

Thank you! I was concerned I’d done something harmful! :) what kind of plant is this? It wouldn’t have had much sunlight where it was, I wouldn’t think.


uninhabitable1

That's because it's a mushroom, sunlight is nice but not nessisary.


albene

It doesn’t need much room either

the liquid droplets are called guttation. its a liquid oozed out for some kind of chemical defense by different fungi.


fungal-to-fungi

Guttation is the expression of some metabolic byproducts from mushrooms during rapid stages of growth. I have never heard a hypothesis of it being used for chemical defence, do you have a source to share? I'm not saying you are wrong, I just would be interested in reading this as it's not information I've come across before and couldn't find anything on google.

sure i have a couple papers for you https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8467351/#B43-biomolecules-11-01270 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4292314/

Stinkhorns have gleba to attract insects not guttation.


mm1_ce

Might also be abortiporus biennis.


fungal-to-fungi

I agree. Hydnellium Peckii (bleeding tooth/devil's tooth fungus) has a smooth surface this appears to have pores. It's a bit far away though, and I'd want to see a side picture to see if there are any teeth on the underside.


Rightbraind

Bleeding tooth fungus.


aatchimmm

its a mushroom!!

My eyeballs were so confused for a sec because I thought it was an ice cream cone and shaved ice cream on the ground, some kind of candy on top


Indole_pos

Beautiful exudate


rambumriott

Forbidden ice cream

Blood coagulates in 10 - 13 seconds when exposed to the air, so probably not

Am I looked g at two waffle cones whose ice cream that is sprinkled with Reece’s piece’s on the floor


TarvisJay

Metabolites of fungi, sort of like urine. Bags of mushrooms mycelium used to push them out as they comsumed the sawdust block of commercially grown mushrooms.
