Found some Fungi. #dryadssaddle #mushroomphotography #fungiofinstagram #woodlandwalks #naturelover #wildlifephotography #smartphonephotography #photography
Three large, textured, light brown mushrooms with darker brown patterns on their caps are growing on the side of a tree trunk. Green leafy plants surround the base of the mushrooms and the tree.

The common name of this fungus arises from the notion that they are large enough to take the weight of a seated Dryad. Looked at with more modern eyes they remind me of the seats of the old-fashioned tractors that you could see around farms back in the distant days of the 1950s. But then I wonder maybe some of the ancient tractor drivers were Dryads in modern dress?

Dryad's Saddle growing upright on a Box Elder log.

Likely to be Dryad's Saddle growing upright on a fallen Box Elder tree. Has the typical tan with brownish scales and a slight depression in the center. My hand is in the lower left for help in gauging size.Bottom view of what is likely Dryad's Saddle showing its porous structure.

An uprising of Dryad’s Saddle mushrooms.

A small cluster of 6 Dryad Saddle mushrooms growing out of the top of a sawed-off stump. They are gold/yellow in color with lots of small patches chy brown markings on their caps. The stems also have a similar brown patchy pattern though smaller in size.

New arrivals up in the dunes this week!

A darker dryad's saddle sticking up from a laid down hardwood tree whose bark has wicked away, roughly 10" (ten inches) in size. It sort of has the shape of a funnel that goes 3/4's the way around, much like an elephant ear, and the texture on the cap reminds of a sourdough crust or pancakes in its striations Another complex of dryad's saddle, now two stacked on top of one another, each roughly 14" wide, stick out from the base of a standing dead hardwood trunk. These are lighter in color to the first one captioned, the bottom having what looks like a large bite taken from it.A false death cap punches up through the thick dead leaves. The cap is flat with some leftover puncture still settled there, while it's annulus posts with a weighty drape high upon the stipeParasols, over half a dozen in view, have exploded over this section of the dunes. The caps are scaled and vary in shape from bell shaped to nearly flat but still barely concave. The ground is thick with loud, crunchy oak leaves
