984. fun with fungi

there on that dead tree

look like sea anemones

or maybe… heart valves  🦊❤️

While hiking with my friend Rob through the Elephant’s Graveyard (stand of dying European Beech trees) we spotted a cluster of strange looking fungi. I took a photo and texted it to my Dong Stick teacher Paul who is also a forager.  He identified it as Dryads Saddle.  It is edible. He suggested we collect some to try because other foragers will harvest it all.  We passed on the suggestion and settled on some photos and  made observations on what they looked like.  🦊❤️
