Field Notes

Notes:

These "Turkey Tail" fungi were found on a very young, but dying tree. The fungi covered the tree from top to bottom, and were found on 1/3 of the diameter of the tree.

I wondered that myself Lars...These are all very small (dime sized or smaller) which makes it difficult to tell. They do have the stripes and are starting to become "wavey". Do you know what they may be? I'd appreciate any feedback that you may have. :))

this doesn't look really like a trametes versicolor to me
