Dryad's Saddle - Le Polypore écailleux by Monteregina (Nicole)

Polyporus squamosus (Polyporaceae - Polyporacées)

Common name: pheasant-back mushroom.

It is a fairly good edible mushroom that must be eaten young, later it becomes hard and can then cause digestive disorders.

C'est un assez bon champignon comestible qui doit être consommé jeune, plus tard il devient dur et peut alors causer des troubles digestifs.
