I did this once for my spiky plant (which, like all my other projects,
seems to have swelled beyond my machine's capacity and be abandoned. I
either need to get a better computer or start thinking small).

y + sqrt((((x-(y^A)/B)*C)^2)+((z*C)^2)) - 1

where A and B affect the sharpness and strength of the curve,
respectively, and C affects the thickness of the cone. (And assuming a
threshold of 0.) Try 3, 2, and 12 to get something resembling your model.
