The American name Turkey Tail is jollier than the rather prim British name 'The many-zoned plypore'. But both names describe the concentrically zoned colour pattern on this fungus - like a turkey's tail (see below)
It grows on dead wood and sometimes living trees
especially on a broken branch or pruning wound
The wavy edge of the clustering brackets has a white edge, which fades as the brackets age.
btw the white edged fungus in my previous email about sulphur tuft fungus was apparently a very young crop of turkey tail - info thanks to Simon Harding
Hi guys! Are you ready for Christmas?
