Ann Althouse said...: The app I used suggested Cerioporus squamosus — dryad's saddle — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerioporus_squamosus; 9/21/24, 11:22 AM
Ann Althouse said...: Also called "pheasant's back mushroom."

"The name "dryad's saddle" refers to creatures in Greek mythology called dryads who could conceivably sit and rest on this mushroom, whereas the pheasant's back analogy derives from the pattern of colors on the bracket matching that of a pheasant's back"; 9/21/24, 11:23 AM

amr said...: Yes, C. squamosus. (Formerly Polyporus squamosus... )
Edible if you catch it early enough. Never toxic, but once the caps are as tough as leather, it eats like leather. I find the flavor is brought out nicely by a splash of apple cider vinegar after they've been sauteed.; 9/21/24, 11:34 AM

I was thinking one of those starched collars from the 1600s that didn't come out of the laundry right.; 9/21/24, 1:19 PM

It's pretty much what I thought... like I was crawling out of it... or some sort of toad perched on top.; 9/21/24, 1:30 PM

The makeup can be done in 5 seconds. It's called lipstick.; 9/21/24, 1:32 PM

Ha ha. That's also something Meade and I thought of.; 9/21/24, 1:33 PM

Hassayamper said...: Agreed. Cerioporus squamosus. This one looks too old and tough to eat, but might still make a nice broth if simmered for a couple of hours.; 9/21/24, 9:30 PM
