Turkey Tail
    #5757828 - 06/16/06 03:56 PM (17 years, 7 months ago)

There was an earlier post discussing the preparation etc. of this. However, I have a question about identification. Are there any known lookouts to watch out for? Also, a log in my yard that I have been watching has had this (??) growing on it for about 2 months but still seems to be alive (especially when real humid after rain). How can you tell if it has become dead or over mature? I am assuming that as long as the it displays colors it is still viable but not sure.
Thanks!

Hey Shroomaker, there is one look alike that is so similar its common name is False Turkey Tail. It is Stereum hirsutum . You can tell the difference between the two by looking on the under side of the cap.
Turkey Tails are a polypore an have pores on their fertile surface. False Turkey Tails are smooth.

When Turkey tails are growing the pores are bright white. They do not rot easily so they can remain on a log for some time after they have been growing.
The pore surface will become duller with age. BTW The pores are not that easy to see as they are not that deep.

The bright colored stripes would be a good indication also that it is still fresh as these dull with age.

If you have some pictures of them, please post them, I'd like to see them.

Will try to take some pics and post tommorrow. After looking underneath, I cannot readily see any pores (just seems like a wavy grey surface) and so am wondering if it is a Stereum ostrea. However, after reading a description of Stereum ostrea, they are supposed to be more funnel shaped than lateral (and mine are lateral). Do the false TT have the same medicinal qualities?
They do resemble those in the pics here, although they seem less wavy and maybe thicker.

I'm don't know if false TT have any medicinal qaulities. Trametes versicolor is thicker than the Stereum. I'm unsure of what you have, if you post a picture get one of the top surface and the bottom, it will help with an ID.

Good picture of Trametes versicolor pores.

We use them medically, however they are usually mixed in heavily with others. Some smooth, some porous.
There is a turkey tail look alike that also has gills, but we don't gather them medically here.
Terrific mushroom really!

I don't know of any polypores that are toxic, so mix and match at will. Even very common polypores such as Fomotopsis pinicola, the red belted polypore have medicinal qualities. Just dry, slice and boil into a broth, then use that broth to make rice, pasta, etc. You can make the broth very tasty by saving your old steak, rib and chicken bones in the freezer, then roasting them in the oven until brown, then boiling along with the polypores.

You should copy and paste that exact post and start a new thread in the Mushroom Hunting and Identification section.  You'll get much more help there!  They're the expert mushroom ID'ers :laugh:
