Jew's Ears, Turkey's Tails and Some Ocean Critters?
    #19075042 - 11/02/13 01:00 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

These felt like jello when I touched them.

Turkey tail? White pores on the underside, some were turning brown.


Oysters?

Fish looking shelf mushroom? Some of these had sticks growing right through them.

Jelly Leaf, Tremella foliacea on that first pic.
How visible were the pores on the "turkey tail?"

It's an edible science.

Go ahead and run through this while you have one in front of you.

Totally True Turkey Tail Test

1) Is the pore surface a real pore surface? Like, can you see actual pores?

Yes: Continue.
No: See Stereum ostrea and other crust fungi.
2) Squint real hard. Would you say there are about 1-3 pores per millimeter (which would make them fairly easy to see), or about 3-8 pores per millimeter (which would make them very tiny)?

3-8 per mm: Continue.
1-3 per mm: See several other species of Trametes.
3) Is the cap conspicuously fuzzy, velvety, or finely hairy (use a magnifying glass or rub it with your thumb)?

Yes: Continue.
No: See several other species of Trametes.
4) Is the fresh cap whitish to grayish?

Yes: See Trametes hirsuta.
No: Continue.
5) Does the cap lack starkly contrasting color zones (are the zones merely textural, or do they represent subtle shades of the same color)?

Yes: See Trametes pubescens.
No: Continue.
6) Is the fresh mushroom rigid and hard, or thin and flexible?

Rigid and hard: See Trametes ochracea.
Thin and flexible: Totally True Turkey Tail.
Description:

Ecology: Saprobic on the deadwood of hardwoods, or rarely on the wood of conifers; annual; causing a white rot of the sapwood; growing in dense, overlapping clusters or rosettes on logs and stumps; year-round; very widely distributed and common in North America.

Cap: Up to 10 cm across; only a few mm thick; flexible when fresh; circular, semicircular, bracket-shaped, or kidney-shaped; often fused with other caps; densely hairy or velvety, often with alternating zones of texture; with concentric zones of white, brown, cinnamon, and reddish brown (but highly variable in color and sometimes with other shades, including blue, green, and orange).

Pore Surface: Whitish to pale grayish; not bruising; with 4 or more tiny pores per mm; tubes up to 3 mm deep.

Flesh: Insubstantial; whitish; tough and leathery.

Odor and Taste: Not distinctive.

Chemical Reactions: KOH negative to yellowish on flesh.

Spore Print: Whitish.

Microscopic Features: Spores 5-6 x 1.5-2 ยต; smooth; cylindric; inamyloid. Cystidia absent. Hyphal system trimitic.

It's totally a true turkery I believe. If these aren't false pores.

Yes, you have Trametes versicolor.  Your huge sagging polypore is Ganoderma applanatum.

:dancer: Any advice on harvesting them? Its was almost impossible to cut them, and pulling them seems like murder.
I only took what was nice and white on the underside.
Should I avoid the ones that are starting to turn brown?

Could your oysters be Panellus serotinus?

They could be, it seems like a solid fit.
I have been finding tons of them growing off everything from small sticks to living trees.
