Nick Posted November 10, 2019 Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 I found this shelf fungi that looks quite like turkey tail, there wasn't that much but I will keep note of the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted November 11, 2019 Report Share Posted November 11, 2019 A key feature is found on the underside. If the underside shows small pores (openings; may require some magnification to see), then this likely represents a species of Trametes. If the underside is smooth (maybe a little bumpy, but no pores seem) then you have a species of Stereum. True Turkey tail is Trametes versicolor. There are a few other fairly similar species of Trametes. My guess --based upon seeing only the upper side of one fruit body-- is this is Stereum ostrea, False Turkey Tail... but this is not a highly confident proposal (see above).
