@Davids_denim Dryad's saddle aka pheasants back

[Davids_denim]

@Oaktavia cool! I walk this park with my pup everyday and this guy just popped up over night it seems. Pretty cool stuff

[Oaktavia]

@Davids_denim right on. I have them growing on stumps on the property here.

@david here is the Dryad's saddle that was on a stump by my bedroom window. I have seen this mushroom growing all around the property. Today, I finally decided it was time to pan fry one. It tasted pretty good and smelled of cucumber when raw. I only tried a few small pieces to see how my gut reacts to it. FWIW, Dryad's saddle is easy to ID and does not have any toxic lookalikes. I have read that its smart to try a small bit of a forged mushroom when first harvesting a new species.

@Oaktavia cool looking species

[Davids_denim]

@Oaktavia sweet! I find mushrooms kinda horrifying and beautiful. The underside of that one is great. What do/did you use to learn and identify?

Great move!
Season just have started over here.
Looking forward to find some beats.

Promising weather. Awaiting this (from two years ago).

Any update on the Iron Heart-KingyFungiLogo @seawolf ?

[Oaktavia]

@Aetas awesome photo. The dryad's saddle aka pheasants back was tasty. My wife added the mushroom to the spaghetti squash dish she made last night. I had some for lunch today, too.

I think these are more honey mushrooms that are growing on a tree root in my backyard. There are a couple dozen of them scattered around this larger cluster. They are pretty cool looking. I will not be eating these as the taste test a few weeks ago upset my stomach. And I only had one cap. If these are honey mushrooms, the caps are matured and opened anyway. They are better eating when young and closed still. There was a stick underneath them that had some white spores into it from this cluster, which ticks the honey box as well.

@Aetas Thank you for the reminder! I'll work on it some more this week

This thing is growing out of a root of an old pin oak in our yard. Probably not a sign of good health for the tree
