Dryads Saddle?

[Northern Boy]

(I'm surprised this section has been inactive since November 2009! Has no-one found any mushrooms this year or is everyone supremely confident in their i.d. skills?)

I found these today. I am pretty sure they are dryads saddle but my wife is skeptical. Win this one for me ish'ers; are these dryads saddle? They were on a very rotten stump.

Definitely look like Dryads to me. If not too tough or full of grubs they're great cut into strips and cooked in butter and sea salt (the salt helps to draw out the moisture). I found these the other day

I thought mushroom season was mostly the autumn and don't you need some rain for mushrooms/toadstools to appear? Never got any here last autumn as the rains came too late. Well it's been dry in most of England so maybe that's why it is quiet on the subject.

Well I ate 'em. The little was was good the big one was..... chewy!
