Video was very well done, both the videography and narration; informative while remaining pretty concise. Jabberwalks might have added that in addition to being saprophytic, Trametes versicolor is specifically a white rot decayer. The species decomposes lignin, leaving the cellulose of the wood behind. That characteristic of white rot fungal species has implications for possibly supplementing or even replacing the mechanical and chemical separation of lignin from wood fibers in future production of pulp and paper -- research is on-going.
After observing many look alike, and a group hat looks like TT, except it has gills, yesterday I found a lovely flush of TT. There are so beautiful, I need to look up medicinal qualities.
I have really gotten into mushrooms this yr and learned a lot.Ive taken a ton of pictures to go back and try to identify.I got some turkey tails to make tea today. I have went out today and took pics of both the real and look a likes.
The ones in my yard are fuzzy, white at the bottom with pores but are one color. Sort of grayish tan. Also , every video I’ve watched failed to mention if the false turkeytails are poisonous. Would be a good thing to know.
From what I understand, the Stereum species are not edible, but they are not known to be poisonous either. Turkey tails themselves aren't really edible, but have a history of being used as medicine. I would be curious if anyone knows more. You might compare yours to Trametes hirsuta or pubescens.
I found a patch that were older/dryer are they still okay to use? They’re definitely real Turkey Tail just in full sun wind exposed area off a river it’s been dry here recently
I have literally walked past thousands of these things in my life not knowing what they were. One thing of great concern though, are the look alikes toxic or dangerous in any way?
Yeah they're all over the place! From what I understand, these look alikes are not toxic. They're not edible either though. So not dangerous or high-risk to mix up, just kinda inert like accidentally chewing on cardboard.
@@JabberwalksYes, that's what I read from other sources as well; actual false turkey tail aren't toxic, but lack the medicinal properties of true turkey tail. Enjoyable and informative video...thank you.
If they are green, there is probably some algae growing. It might be a little bit too late to use, but you could always check the same spot later in the year!
wait youre only at 100? I didnt realize it wasnt a big channel, how did I find this? I love all your content.
Aww Thanks a ton! It really means a lot!
Also I have no idea how anybody finds anything on here.
Your voice is really charismatic btw. And please do more videos bc they're really good
Different substrates make the same species vary in color and texture.
Super helpful! I just picked a bunch of what I thought were Turkey tail today. Alas, False TT. But I'll be back out tomorrow!
Thank you! I went for a long walk in our woods today. I was looking for morel shrooms but came across the fake turkey tails. I’ll try again soon!
Good Luck! I'm excited for the season to get going here.
Is the medicine in the true Turkey Tail more potent in the younger ones? Is it worthwhile to harvest and use the older, drier specimens?
napokon da mi neko lepo objasni razlike pravih i lažnih ćuranovih repova. hvala vam za ovaj video. od velike je pomoći u determinaciji
Great info & vid! Thank you!👍🏼
There are 3 species of turkey tail. Is the trametes ochracea also useble for thee or only the trametes versicolor?

Thank you! Beautifully described and super helpful :-)
Thank you! I'm glad it helped.

Thanks, I actually collected the fake ones so I'll throw them away.. Glad I found you! 😗
Very interesting and informative! Your delivery is professional and your research is impeccable. Great work - so much so that I’ve subscribed.
Thank you! I really appreciate it!

Mushroom foragers rest in peace.
How 😂

Super video! 🤗
Thank you!
thanks for share!
My pleasure!
Nice! Subbed.

wow I have been drinking false turkey tail tea.. I hope they don't hurt me..
False ones are not likely to be harmful as far as I'm aware.
If one of them falls into the tincture will it be bad for health?
Thanks
Glad it was helpful

Can you eat the ones that are not true turkey tails?
That would be like eating leather. If you know it's not a turkey tail, I probably wouldn't eat it!
If the top side of TT is green, is that ok? Bottom is white with all the little pores.
If they are green, there is probably some algae growing. It might be a little bit too late to use, but you could always check the same spot later in the year!
You found Turkey Tails..or false ones. I’m not an expert, but I love finding these on my walks 😊
