 In conditions of high humidity , several species can form striking colored drops on the actively growing caps : red drops in H. peckii , H. diabolus , H. ferrugineum , and H. <unk> , yellow drops in H. caeruleum , and coffee @-@ colored drops in H. mirabile . The common names of H. peckii reflect its appearance : " strawberries and cream " and " bleeding tooth fungus " . Some Hydnellum species have a mealy odor ( e.g. H. mirabile and H. pineticola ) similar to freshly ground flour . H. <unk> smells like <unk> , while H. suaveolens has an sweet odor resembling anise or peppermint . All are too tough and woody to be edible , and many have an acrid taste anyway .
