Forest nymph fantasy: dryad's saddle

I love that the common name for these fungi is dryad's saddle.

 

I can just imagine the little tree-dwelling nymphs and forest spirits of Greek mythology using these as a comfy resting place from which to observe the forest all around.

 

This group was quite high up and photographed from ground level.

 

The largest fruiting body seen here, was around 30 cm diameter.
