Dryad's Saddle

I believe (thanks to J. Gafarot) that this is Polyporus squamosus or Dryad's Saddle, a Bracket Fungus. It was photographed in Dowagiac Woods in Michigan and is an example here of guttation, mushrooms and plants producing beads of "sweat". Dowagiac Woods is in southern Michigan and an area where some of the original forest has been preserved.

Those water drops are very special... so it is sweating?

I've never heard of this variety of mushroom; excellent capture, Ron.

A fine set of fungal images, Ron. I'm fascinated by the "sweating" phenomena, I've never seen that happening with fungi here - I wonder if it's species specific or climate driven?

We have seen it only on Polypores but apparently it does happen with other fungi and also with other plants.
