Help identifying a possible Hydnum

Note: I'm posting this for Tim Kinney

"

This was growing in mixed hardwood forest.

It had spines like fur, and an odd shape. Can anyone help with identification? I'm thinking it's some kind of Hydnum, but which one?

Hey there TIm, good guess, but its a pseudohydnum...they are more corky hard and not so edible. I have found Dentinum on my homestead that is a choice edible and a hedgehoggy...I've only found true Hydnums (and ate them) up north. check out David Auroras mushroom demystified.

What does hedgehoggy mean?
