Fall Fungus

The warm/wet weather this fall has been beneficial to fungal growth. It only took a couple of days for this Dryad's Saddle (Polyporus squamosus) mushroom to develop on a Box Elder tree along our driveway.
Young Dryad's Saddle mushrooms are considered edible, but this one is over a foot wide and doesn't look as tasty as the Chanterelle mushrooms we found and froze this summer.
