#DryadsSaddle putting on a great show, and #RootingShank - each digesting rotting trees. I commented at the start of the walk this evening it won’t be long before the fungal season really kicks off. #Fungi #Mycology #ILoveFungi

Also called Pheasant’s Back, the #DryadsSaddle is easy to ID. Nothing else really looks like them so if you find one you can feel pretty safe in consuming it.

Although when eating for the first time, it can be wise to try a small bite and wait 24 hrs to see if allergic for any edible 🍄‍🟫

I think a bit of rain has evoked some #fungi growth. Almost out of nowhere these #DryadsSaddle have erupted in the woods. My shoe for scale. Beauties right next to the track. #Mycology

Dryad's Saddle or Pheasant Back - this fungus is often seen growing on rotting wood in forest of Northeastern North American (and elsewhere). #dryadssaddle #pheasantback #cerioporussquamosus #polyporussquamosus #fungi #niagaracountyon #mudlake

Three large, textured, light brown mushrooms with darker brown patterns on their caps are growing on the side of a tree trunk. Green leafy plants surround the base of the mushrooms and the tree.

A close-up view of a Dryad's Saddle mushroom, also known as Pheasant's Back mushroom with dark brown spots on a bed of moss and decaying wood. The scene is composed of a single mushroom, taking up most of the image's vertical space. The mushroom is positioned centrally, its cap angled slightly upward and away from the viewer. The top of the mushroom is visibly textured with the dark spots. The base of the mushroom is situated on a bed of moss-covered, decaying wood. The background is out of focus but shows green foliage, branches, and a blurred forest floor. The framing is tight, focusing entirely on the mushroom and its immediate surroundings. The key subject is the mushroom, featuring a wide, domed cap. The cap's surface is textured with a pattern of dark brown spots and lighter brown areas. The stem of the mushroom is seen at the base and connects to the cap, disappearing into the moss. The moss appears in varying shades of green and covers the majority of the foreground. The decaying wood is a muted brown color with some exposed textures and splintering. The image is a photograph. The technical execution is sharp in the focus on the mushroom and its cap. The lighting is natural, likely from the sun or ambient light, creating shadows that highlight the textures of the mushroom and moss. The style of the image is natural, without any artistic manipulation or special effects. The setting appears to be a damp forest floor. The surrounding foliage is out-of-focus, indicating that the mushroom is the central point of focus. The lighting suggests a moderately sunny environment, as indicated by the shadows cast by the mushroom. The overall atmosphere is one of quiet observation and natural detail.

Dryad's Saddle or also known as Pheasant's Back Mushroom. Very aptly named either way.

Delighted to find a spectacular 'tack room' of Dryad's Saddle (Ceriporus/Polyporus squamosus) on the banks of River Thet upstream of Snetterton North End.
