Dryad’s Saddle

The Dryad’s Saddle fungus is one I remember from my childhood. It can grow huge.

It has a beautiful scaly skin and soft coloured underbelly.

It’s easily big enough to saddle a horse.

Speaking of horses, here are two pretenders; Dartmoor ponies with attitude. Their fight was prolonged and included kicks and bites. Here’s one getting its lip bitten.

Pets, they are most definitely not.
