Turkey Tail
Trametes versicolor

Field Notes
Description:
The second I spotted this fungus, I immediately thought of the turkey tail fungus, also known as Trametes versicolor.
I took the true turkey tail test on http://www.mushroomexpert.com/trametes_versicolor.html and the hypothesis seems to stand. Also I tried to do a pore test on a piece of white paper and nothing showed up, the pores of turkey tail are white, another characteristic.
Habitat:
I found growing on an unidentified log, I couldn't tell what kind it was. I even looked around for alive similarities to help me identify the log, but no luck
Notes:
