TURKEYTAIL



Turkeytail (Trametes versicolor)

Observation
I observed this mushroom on 17 September 2011 while attending the Wildlife Conservation Festival at the John Heinz National Refuge Center in Philadelphia, PA. This mushroom was found away from the trail and was surrounded by some other dead trees that were growing moss and mushrooms. The mushrooms were on the right side of the bark and had several tiers. The mushroom is similar to a turkey's tail hence its name.
