Morphology
saddled-shaped + false + morel
The phrase is compositionally built: 'saddle-shaped' (shaped like a saddle) describes cap shape and 'false morel' (an imitation or not-true morel) identifies the mushroom type. Even if 'saddled-shaped' looks like a minor typo, the meaning is directly derivable from the constituents and follows a common descriptive NP pattern, so a B1 learner who knows the parts would understand it.
Etymology
Saddled-shaped false morel comes from the mushroom's cap that looks like a small saddle, so saddled-shaped describes its shape and false morel shows it looks like a true morel but is not. Because it is 'poisonous', the 'false' part warns you not to eat it.
