Nice capture Maria,i think Logan is rigth,this is not a turkey tail,they dont have gills,they:-)

Thanks for your input, LuckyLogan. I don't think it's false turkey tail; my understanding is that the underside of that one is smooth. Perhaps some other fungus experts can weigh in.

I don't believe this is turkey tail. Gills are not correct. http://mushroom-collecting.com/mushroomturkey.html http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/70726012 http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/42277003 More likely Lenzites betulina? False Turkey Tail or Gilled Polypore. http://www.mushroomexpert.com/lenzites_betulina.html http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/5438023 http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/14840531 Tricky little mushroom :)
