Hygrophorus chrysodon is a species of fungus in the genus Hygrophorus.[1] It is edible but bland in taste.[2][3] The species is found throughout the Northern Hemisphere.[4]

The name chrysodon is Greek for 'golden tooth', a reference to the species' gold-hued granules or hairs, which are found on the cap (especially near the edge), stipe, and gills.[4] The fruit bodies are white, sometimes with a tinge of yellow.[4]
