Pretty sure this is the real deal, Trametes versicolor. I left it alone in the hopes it will grow a bit larger in the next week or so.
Legit Turkey Tail???

Totally True Turkey Tail Test (copied from http://www.mushroomexpert.com/trametes_versicolor.html)
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.

'Mornin' foragedfungus:
I was aware of that resource on TT but hadn't made any effort to memorize the distinguishing criteria because I wasn't really planning on foraging for any...I just came across it while looking for maitake. Since you posted it so neatly in a printable form, I think I'll carry it with me today and see if it is true turkey tail and watch it for a while to see if it grows any.
I went through the trouble and expense of buying a FoodSaver vacuum bagger only to subsequently discover you aren't supposed to use it on mushrooms unless they're cooked first. Dammit.
