Interesting Facts about Dryad's Saddle

Dryad’s Saddle (Cerioporus squamosus) is an annual fungus that is usually found at the base of the dead stumps or on living hardwood trees, such as oak and maple trees. This fungus plays an important role in decomposing dead trees, but it sometimes exists as a parasite to living trees. Dryad’s Saddle is known to give off a pleasant aroma, like the scent of watermelon rind. If cooked, this mushroom can be eaten; it tastes best when it is young and tender.
