Cerioporus squamosus
10 cc/ml liquid fungi mycology culture syringe with a sterile needle.
Dryad's Saddle Mushroom, Cerioporus squamosus, is a striking polypore known for its large fan shaped caps covered in bold brown scales that resemble the pattern of a pheasant’s feathers. Often found on dead or dying hardwood trees in spring and early summer, this species is admired for its impressive size, distinctive appearance, and mild cucumber like aroma. Young specimens are edible and enjoyed by foragers, while mature fruiting bodies are commonly used for crafting, displays, and fungal art.
Cerioporus squamosus colonizes hardwood sawdust, wood chips, and natural logs and produces broad overlapping shelves that showcase its beautiful patterned surface. This species is valued for ecological studies, outdoor log cultivation, educational projects, and those exploring large ornamental fungi. It plays an important role in breaking down fallen trees and enriching forest ecosystems.
Dryad’s Saddle is a rewarding choice for growers interested in eye catching wood decomposers, mushroom photography subjects, or outdoor cultivation experiments. Its bold appearance and reliable growth on hardwood make it an excellent addition to advanced mycology collections.
