Dryad’s Saddle!! (Cerioporus Squamosus)

The other common name is a Pheasant Back Mushroom, which is derived from the patterning, while the name Dryad’s Saddle comes from the old folk tale that fairies (dryads) would sit on these mushrooms.

The young versions of this mushroom are edible, but older specimens will get tough and indigestible. (This post does not serve as your identification guide, don’t eat random shroomies if you aren’t 100% sure what they are)

They’re parasitic or saprotrophic, in this case, the specimen was saprotrophic because it was gaining nutrients from the decaying log.

Shroomies are so fun!

Oh yes, i'm normal, i'm just daydreaming about inhaling fungal spores and having it change me to the point where we become one and develop a symbiotic yet codependent relationship with each other.

I just don’t get it. How can our society act so goddamned normal about seahorses. How can anybody so casually accept that that’s a fish???

This is one of nature’s most anatomically perverse of all beasts. A FISH, like a carp or a bass or a beta is a fish, but it bent its body straight up only to bend its head permanently back down. It stretched its skull into a pipe. It tapered its tail like a lizard, specifically like a chameleon. It can also move its eyes independently by the way, you know, like a chameleon. Fun fact, it can change color to express its mood, like you know whatever does that. It doesn’t properly swim anymore. It buzzes its few remaining fins like an insect’s wings to float itself around at a snail’s pace. It lives its whole life clinging to coral branches or seaweed, which means it decided to become a “tree dweller” in an environment where gravity didn’t even matter anyway. The males get pregnant. They make noises at each other by rubbing some of their neck bones together. Every day, EVERY DAY a mated pair does a little dance and a little neck bone song so they remember which two seahorses they were. They’re a beautiful precious obscenity. Nothing so adorable ever made such a strong case against a logical creator.

They have as little skin and meat as they could get away with. Their skeleton is almost all they are.
