Hedgehog
One of the first edible (and by edible I mean actually edible and not one that will make you sick) that I gathered was the Hedgehog. There are several different kinds of hedgehogs, but the one that I found is Hudnum Umbilicatum. The most notable feature about this mushroom is the presence of spines, rather than gills, on the underside of the cap. These 'teeth' are extremely recognizable and make this mushroom hard to mistake for anything else, a nice feature when looking at edible mushrooms.
