Found some today! I pan seared it ! It was quite delicious! First time for this type of mushroom!
I'm a newbie. On my first foray I found two pair of dryad's saddle, both within reach. It was mid-December so they were well past prime.....in fact they were totally dried out. I was so eager to learn more I've watched dozens of vids plus ran out and bought 3 field guides. I'm really hooked now, these were my very first finds. I now have a leg up on my first coming season. Riding the saddle off into the forest we go! (I won't be harvesting them at this stage, however....smaller ones, much younger.) (My dad was from Voe, Shetland!)
Wow what a fungi! Great video mate, really looking forward to the next one 👍👍👍

Thanks for watching Faenean - lots more fungi videos to come. Watch this space.
Great vid! I am lucky, these grow right in my backyard, just started harvesting and using.
What a great video. Thank you, big love brother
Great video. Found these yesterday in the woods. Couldn’t identify. Now I know what they are.
Thank you for this ! I eat one. Now I am writing to you from the other side
My wife loves Dryad's Saddle! She puts it into her kimchi for and grids the tougher parts and adds to Korean dishes. I've never tasted it but might try next time I get some. Pretty easy to find around here. Got a bunch yesterday but it's all dehydrated now for whatever my wife does with it. Nice video!!!
Fantastic content!!
Nice Vid, Thank you :)

Thanks for watching - much appreciated
I found one identical with what you presented, but with a pale colour and without pronounced scales, the scales are just coloured, not protuberant
I'm curious to know what region of Scotland this is in and where else this mushroom is known to grow...

No I don't bother unless they come off themselves 😊
