that's a dryads saddle =) or hawks wing or Cerioporus squamosus if you're nasty

edible but not amazing. tastes and smells like a watermelon rind. cook first

What I do with them is cook them and then pickle them and toss them in 3 bean salad which is pretty great!

am I missing something here? not to sound like I'm supporting the inktober guy who sounds scummy as heck, but the inktober website doesn't sound anything like what everyone here is saying. it's an arbitrary set of prompts you can follow or not if you feel like it. that's all I can see =p
