While this is not solely a fungal word it refers to the shape of many potential features of a fungus and none more dramatically than the teeth of the genus Hericium. I mean look at some of these beauties:
 |
| Hericium erinaceus |
 |
| Hericium coralloides |
 |
| Hericium abietis |
Are those not amazing and Toothy... or Pectinate.
