There’s great beauty in the world of mushrooms. And this is a fungus that certainly fills that bill. Turkey Tail Mushroom (Trametes versicolor). Beauty beyond words.

They’re an extremely common type of mushroom in our North American forests and are also found throughout the world on every continent except Antarctica. They are wonderful decomposers not only found on dead wood but also on trees in failing health. Turkey Tail Mushrooms are often found on deciduous trees, but are also found on coniferous trees from time to time.

This blog gives no information about the edibility or toxicity of any of the mushrooms that are written about.
