#mushroom #foraging #nature Found these perfect beautiful early spring mushrooms! Early spring find! Dryad’s saddle (pheasant back) mushroom is a common, edible spring mushroom recognized by its brown-scaled, fan-shaped cap and distinct cucumber/watermelon scent. Found on dead hardwood, it is best eaten young (under 8cm) before becoming tough and leathery. Preparation: Slice thinly before cooking, as the edges are the most tender part. Cooking: Sauté quickly over high heat in butter or oil. The firm texture works well in stir-fries or with rich sauces. Storage: They can be dried for long-term storage. Always consult a professional before consuming wild mushrooms or plants. #wildedibles #ontario #dryadssaddle
