You can find this plant in North America, Europe, and Asia. It has long spines, measuring over 1 cm or 1⁄2 inch. The plant grows on hardwoods and typically has a bunch of hanging spines. You can harvest the fruit bodies for culinary use.
H. erinaceus can be mistaken for other species of Hericium, which grow across the same range. In the wild, these mushrooms are common during late summer and fall on hardwoods, particularly American beech and maple. People usually consider H. erinaceus saprophytic because it mostly feeds on dead trees.
