Turkey Tail info wanted * 1
    #19322194 - 12/24/13 04:55 PM (10 years, 1 month ago)

I've been coming across what i believe to be turkey tail, medicinal polypore.

I saved, dried and stored a handful.

I have many ID books which say this comes in various colours...is velvety feeling on top...grows in 'fans'...has thin wavy edges...stripey colour marking.

I've been going under the assumption that ALL polypores i see that fit this description are turkey tails.
Am i right in this assumption?

Obviously anything that is fleshier, has just one colour, no stripes etc i don't assume to be turkey tail.

Are there any species which are NOT a good idea to consume that look and feel much like the turkey tail variety?

I'm really wanting to make some medicinal potions for myself but don't want to poison myself while trying to heal myself! ;-)

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Try running them through the Totally True Turkey Tail Test found at mushroom expert.

Also, try posting pics here of both the top and underside.

No.  The most common mushroom that fits this description is in the genus Stereum.    There are some other genera that fit also though.
