Am I looking at Turkey Tails (T/C/P. Versicolor)?
    #22100689 -

It has that turkey tail look to it, and the pores are pretty small.





Would these be of printing quality? I'd imagine they have been there for a while.

I'm inclined to think that they are indeed Turkey Tails. I hadn't really been interested in these types of fungi until I recently got into tinctures. I can still go through the process of printing and microscopy to be certain, but I just wanted to see if anyone could let me know if its worth my while as they are a bit out of the way.

Thanks,

It does indeed look to be Trametes versicolor, I can't see the pores clear enough to be sure though.

Here's a link where you can take the Turkey Tail test yourself.>>>>http://www.mushroomexpert.com/trametes_versicolor.html

Thanks. I'll go back and bust out the KOH and attempt a spore print to be certain. If all checks out I'm gonna do a double extraction on some of the fresher looking guys.

As it turns out, these were not turkey tails. I went back to the scene and checked them out and I discovered that they weren't pored at all. It was actually just a crust fungi. I appear to have found one of the false turkey tails (Stereum Ostrea) :facepalm:, however my find appears to be a bit more dull in color than the typical specimens found.


A 4% KOH solution stained it a very dark hue of red, almost black. It later became a faded black.

Its too bad, I didn't find turkey tails, I was planning to make a nice tincture with them. Oh well I'm sure I'll come across a bunch sometime soon.

Very wise of you to do that test to confirm they weren't Turkey tails.:thumbup:

Yes man, I just got some KOH in the mail so I was itching to bust it out lol. The underside and lack of a pore surface pretty much excluded turkey tails but I had to be the mad scientist :cool:
