Dryad's Saddle

Interesting, understated mushroom.

• Grows on trees.
• Has a porous underside much like a bolette.
• Usually found May to June.
• Younger specimens are better than older.

From a differential point of view, Dryad's saddle can be confused with other polypores, however its distinctive top, porous underside and "meatiness" (polypores have a woody texture) make it pretty distinctive.
