Turkey Tail fungi Byron's Pool LNR Cambridge

---

Trametes versicolor – also known as Coriolus versicolor and Polyporus versicolor – is a common polypore mushroom found throughout the world. Meaning 'of several colors', versicolor accurately describes this fungus that displays a unique blend of markings. Additionally, owing to its shape being similar to that of a wild turkey's tail feathers, T. versicolor is most commonly referred to as turkey tail. T. versicolor is a white-rot fungus which degrades lignin from lignocellulosic materials, such as wood.
