Steccherinum ochraceum, known as ochre spreading tooth, is a hydnoid fungus of the family Steccherinaceae. It was originally described as Hydnum ochraceum by Johann Friedrich Gmelin in 1792, and later transferred to the genus Steccherinum by Samuel Frederick Gray in 1821.[1]

It is a plant pathogen[2] infecting sweetgum trees. It can be found throughout North America[3] and in Nepal.[citation needed]
