Polyporus squamosus

IMG_1311Polyporus sqamosus is commonly known as Dryad’s Saddle. I saw a lot of it while I was out foraging for morels today. It is quite distinctive and often has a watermelon-like odour. Apparently the young tender specimens are edible, and some people say they quite like them. I know one person who claims he ate some and became ill. I think most foragers do what I do and ignore them.

If any readers have eaten Dryad’s Saddle, did you like it?
