Phellodon sinclairii is a native tooth fungus found in beech forests of New Zealand. It was first described by Miles Joseph Berkeley in 1867 as a species of Hydnum in Joseph Dalton Hooker's work Handbook of the New Zealand Flora.[2] The type locality was on Maungatua. Gordon Herriot Cunningham transferred the species to the genus Phellodon in 1958.[3]
The fruit bodies of P. sinclairii have caps up to 3 cm (1.2 in) in diameter when single, or up to 7 cm (2.8 in) when the caps are fused together in groups. The cap surface is black with a whitish margin. The crowded spines on the cap underside are up to 2 mm long, and run decurrently down the stipe. Initially whitish, they become gray in age. Dried specimens have the odour of fenugreek.[4]
