Turkey tail mushrooms (Trametes versicolor) grow on the trunk of a tree in Charles Wood Japanese Garden, July 20, 2021, in Mobile, Alabama. Mushrooms growing on tree trunks are usually a sign of rot-inducing pathogens that have infected the tree. The fungi enter the tree in wounded areas and quickly reproduce, killing the heart of the tree. (Photo by Carmen K. Sisson/Cloudybright)
