Elias Fries is one of the fathers of mycology, and his works are today more in focus than ever because of their nomenclatural importance.
According to Fries himself his great interest in fungi started when he as a twelve years old boy came across a magnificent specimen of Hericium coralloides.
It has for a long time, together with Elenchus fungorum from 1828, been the starting point for fungal names and today the names in it are sanctioned.

 Hydnum umbilicatum, the sweet tooth mushroom. Tom Volk's Fungus of the Month for October 2004
Fries is considered to have "sanctioned" a name if it appears in his seminal publication Systema mycologicum in 1821.
Therefore, because Fries (1821) based the genus Hydnum after Linnaeus, and Linnaeus accepted Hydnum as the new name for Dillenius' genus Erinaceus, Hydnum repandum L:Fries is the only choice as the type species of Hydnum L.:Fries.
Note that the sanctioning of the name by Fries is denoted by the colon L:Fries, which indicates that Fries sanctioned Linneaus' name Hydnum in 1821.
