Turkey Tail

Very "hairy" turkey tail fungus that I found growing on rotting wood in a deciduous swamp.

Turkey Tail gets its name from the fact that it sort of resembles a turkey's tail. The caps were bracket-shaped, thin, fuzzy, and had concentric zones of green, brown, and gray. The pores are white.

The Turkey Tail

"Trametes versicolor" is a common polypore mushroom found throughout the world. Meaning 'of several colours', "versicolor" reliably describes this mushroom found in different colors. By example, due to its resembling multiple colors in the tail of wild turkey, "T. versicolor" is commonly called turkey tail.
