Dryad's saddle journal

Dryad's saddle (also known as Pheasant's-back) is a polypore fungus that is common and grows throughout the world. It grows on both living and dead hardwood trees, causing white rot. Its role when growing on living trees could be considered parasitic because it feeds off of the trees and causes rot, while it is simply a decomposer when growing on dead trees. Dryad's saddle is edible, but it is only good to eat when it is very young, and it is said to have a tough texture.
