Echinodontium is a genus of fungi in the family Echinodontiaceae. The genus was published by American mycologist Job Bicknell Ellis in 1900, who described it thus: "Differs from Hydnum in the thick, woody pileus of Fomes and the teeth beset with spines, as in Mucronophorus and Hymenochaete ". [4] The type species, Echinodontium tinctorium , is commonly known as the "indian paint fungus" owing to its traditional use for bodypainting. [5]
