What Are These? Mushrooms? Another Kind Of Fungi?



A property we strolled through last weekend had some unusual things growing on trees that had fallen years ago. The trees looked rotted, had soft bark and had these things growing on them.

My first thought was mushrooms of some sort and I used my cellphone app called Picture This to see if I could find out what they were... no luck with the app; it's mainly for plants, flowers and leaves' identification.


I did find these all over the fallen trees throughout the walk and was just mesmerized by their bright orange and yellow color.

The genus has a few names and species, but "Turkey Tail" covers them. They fresher they are, the tastier -and easier to chew. Edible. But they taste kinda woody as they age. Personally, I prefer to harvest them at this stage for stir fry. Otherwise I collect a pound or two and dry them out in the sun. Once dry I grind em in a coffee grinder to make a powder for tea. That tea is actually pretty good, second to Chaga.

Thank you for all those useful details!

Beautiful!

Looks like it may be some type of turkey tail fungus, but I'm far from a professional.

Turkey tail fungus? Never heard of that before... but yes, they are gorgeous. The picture doesn't do the coloring justice.
