Sarcodon cyrneus is a species of tooth fungus in the family Bankeraceae. Found in Europe, it was described as new to science in 1975 by Dutch mycologist Rudolph Arnold Maas Geesteranus.[1] The specific epithet cyrneus is derived from the Latin "Corsican", referring to Corsica, the type locality.[2] Fruit bodies contains neurotrophic cyathane diterpene compounds called cyrneines.[3][4][5]
