Turkey tail (Trametes versicolor) is a medicinal mushroom that typically grows on logs, stumps, sticks, and snags. This species is not difficult to locate, though several fungi visually resemble turkey tail — including the false turkey tail (Stereum ostrea) and violet toothed polypore (Trichaptum biforme). Both look-alikes are non-toxic.
Let's learn how to identify, Turkey Tail mushroom (Trametes versicolor), which has quickly become one of the most popular consumer mushrooms on the market! While we could go to the store to purchase it ourselves we would be depriving ourselves of the opportunity to spend time in nature foraging for it (and saving money!)
There are many lookalikes to Turkey Tail. Before using it, it is imperative to be able to make a 100% positive ID. This video is an overview of the Totally True Turkey Tail Test from MushroomExpert.com ([ Ссылка ]...) which we'll use for Turkey Tail identification.
After going through the test we also compare Turkey Tail with a few common lookalikes side-by-side.
