A dryad is a wood nymph and this fungus (Polyporus squamosus) is known as Dryad's Saddle, clearly a place where you might catch one having a rest.
The upper surface is covered in brown scales on a yellow background, but you can't see the scales if it's too high up the tree.
In the images below you can see last year's bracket or 'fruiting body' near ground level.
