Turkey Tail Fungus

galewhale....I believe you are right! I found the following: Turkey Tail/Coriolus A common tree fungus, turkey tail looks--not surprisingly--like a turkey's tail, with a stiff, rounded shape and bands of varying colors. In traditional Chinese medicine, turkey tail is used to strengthen vitality and improve liver function. Scientists have identified polysaccharides in turkey tail that enhance immunity and stimulate the body's natural cancer-fighting ability. I also have another picture of it as well - it's a little lighter in color - more gray than brown, but according to pics I have located, it's also called Turkey Tail mushrooms or fungi. Again, thank you for your assistance! :)

Interesting, galewhale! I will research this & see what I can find. Thank you for the info to get me started!!

Thanks, Alice!
