Polyporus squamosus
, commonly known as "
Dryad
's saddle" and "
Pheasant
's back", is a
basidiomycete
bracket fungus
found east of the
Rocky Mountains
in the
United States
and over much of
Europe
. Generally, the
fruiting body
is 8โ30 cm (3.1โ11.8 in) across, but can grow up to 60 cm (24 in). Although it is
edible
, it is generally not prized unless the specimens are very young and tender.
