Mushroom
Trametes versicolor – also known as Coriolus versicolor and Polyporus versicolor – is a common polypore mushroom found throughout the world. Meaning ‘of several colors’, versicolor accurately describes this fungus that displays a unique blend of markings. Additionally, owing to its shape being similar to that of a wild turkey’s tail feathers, T. versicolor is most commonly referred to as turkey tail. A similar-looking mushroom commonly called “false turkey tail” is from a different order (Stereum), and thus may sometimes be confused with the ‘true’ turkey tail mushroom, T. versicolor. Another lookalike is the multicolor gill polypore, T. betulina.
