also known as pheasants back. Anybody here eat them. I'm reading online they are edible. I've been seeing more this year while out  than ever.

I've eaten a bit of dryads saddle a while back. Can't remember how it tasted. I know it wasn't bad, I think it was decent. I think I just sauteed in olive oil

Dave - I found a few of those looking for Morels last Saturday. Didn't pick them, wasn't sure about eating them. Bob

From what I've read online they are pretty tasty, if you get them early in there growth cycle. I found a ton of them in a new morel spot last night, and have been seeing lots in other spots as well. Thanks guys!

I've tried them, picked what I thought was a young and tender one,sautee'd it in some butter and learned thier called Dryads Saddle for a reason, because thier tough and chewy like leather.

They're already done in Tennessee, so I imagine it should be good there.

I must have gotten some really young ones, I don't remember the ones I picked being leathery.
