Brycenator Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 I should have picked some and taken a picture underneath. I took this pic on 10/9/21. I have tons of these all over our property. Is this a pretty common mushroom? Western PA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Hoover Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 Off hand, I’d say it’s probably turkey tail, but I’d want to see the underside to be sure. Not sure how common it is, but I have it growing on most of the ash stumps on my property, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 Trametes versicolor is very common here in eastern PA, especially since so many ash trees died off during the past 10-15 years. I think the ones seen in the photo are this species. But as Kevin said, you need to examine the underside to see if it's smooth (indicating genus Stereum; False Turkey Tail) or with tiny shallow roundish pores.
