A Turkey Tail Tale (by Special Request)

 BetsyLee requested more fungi, so here we go!

I have always found Turkey Tail mushrooms fascinating. They grow in large groups and can range in color from tans and greens to browns and grays.

The origin of their name is sort of obvious, since they do, indeed, look like turkey tails all fanned out and ready to strut.

This snag was liberally coated with them and some of the growth configurations were really interesting.

My particular favorite was this twig that had them growing all around it, making it look like a spindle with lots of small, crumpled pieces of parchment impaled on it. 

So, that's the turkey tail tale for today - and it seems appropriate since it is November, after all, and Thanksgiving will be upon us before we know it!
