One day, while strolling through the park with her 8-year-old son, Sherry Dinny came across an unusual plant. She noticed her son had a red stain around his mouth and immediate panic set in. Worried for her son’s safety, Sherry rushed to the doctor for answers.

To her relief, the doctor informed her that the plant her son had encountered was called Bleeding Tooth Fungus. Contrary to its alarming name, this fungus is actually not toxic and poses no harm to humans.

Although scientists have yet to fully understand the fascinating properties of Bleeding Tooth Fungus, they have discovered that it contains a unique pigment with anticoagulant and antibacterial properties. In addition, this fungus also holds promise in potentially treating Alzheimer’s disease.

Despite its unappetizing taste, leading to one of its nicknames “Strawberries and Cream,” due to its resemblance to a fruit danish, Bleeding Tooth Fungus is safe to encounter. It may not be suitable for consumption, but its beneficial properties make it a valuable find.
