If you're talking about the mushrooms in the picture- they're Dryad Saddles. Scratch the bottom of them- if they smell like watermelon rind, you're golden! They have a nice dense fleshy texture which I love. Get them while they're young, as they get old they can be woody in the middle. Yum.

If I'd known you were out there and able to identify, I would have posted this picture when the mushrooms were young, a week ago! Drat!

I just picked two of these.
While gathering a batch of morels in Illinois, I also picked two large stump shrooms just like these. I was wondering if they are edible and the best way to fix them. The top is a bit hard and woody but the underside is fleshy and smells fabulous. Any ideas??

Dryad Saddles
Anonymous --- I wouldn't take my advice for it --- be sure to check out a couple of different mushroom field guides (or show your mushrooms to an expert) for definitive identification. But if they are Dryad Saddles, they're edible when young but not the most tasty. Morels are definitely superior!
