Hi people, long time reader first time poster. just wanted an ID on these babys i came across. Im no expert on Fungi and just wanted to know what it was and a little about it e.g weather its rare or good eating ect.
Ive had a look around and think it may be Dryads Saddle but like i said im not 100%.

It was attached to the base of a tree (not sure what tree as didnt take much notice) there was a hell of alot of it and pretty big to (the biggest being about the size of a car tyer.

Thanks in advance for your time and info... GJ

There's something strange going on on WAB. I posted to this thread today, and I wasn't the first to reply. Someone had posted that Dryad's saddle was edible but poor. Explanation, Mr Spock?

there must be multiple Dryads Saddle ID threads at the moment because this is the time of year when it comes up

You'll be surprised how many Common Spotted Orchid IDs will come up in June-July

It was me, but I don't know what happened to it though, strange - someone stealing posts.
