[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This fungi is growing from a fallen tree at the front of my home.

Dryad's Saddle (Polyporus squamosus) is quite an imposing and massive fungus which forms tiered brackets on ash, elm and other deciduous trees. Appears June - September. Upper surface creamy buff with dark brown-scales. Lower surface creamy white with large pores.

Thanks for viewing

Hello Bill,
Excellent capture of this Dryads Saddle, well seen against the ivy-covered tree trunk with fine sharpness and from a good POV. Younger brackets are supposed to be edible but I have never tried it.
Thanks and thanks also for your kind words on my 600th posting,
Kind regards,
Ivan
