Turkey for Easter

This stump of a birch tree is now being decomposed by a Turkey-tail fungus (Coriolus versicolor). 


On top of the stump, the fruiting bodies or brackets are jostling for space


While down at ground level the brackets are a bit wider.


It gets its name from the concentric rings of colour - like a turkey's tail.
