How to Identify Turkey Tail Mushrooms

Click here to learn more about the How to Identify article series.

Name: Turkey Tail Mushroom (Trametes versicolor, syn. Coriolus versicolor and Polyporus versicolor)

Range and typical habitat(s): Commonly found throughout North America, but found in varying amounts on all continents except Antarctica

Distinguishing physical characteristics (size, colors, overall shapes, detail shapes): Turkey tail is one of a number of small, shelf-shaped mushrooms that grow on decaying wood. Most specimens are only a couple of inches across, though remarkable examples may reach eight inches across. The cap lacks a stipe (stem), and is often semicircular in shape with a ruffled edge. Like a turkey’s tail, it has several concentric bands of color, usually various shades of brown, and the center being darkest, though individual coloration may vary. Some bands may acquire a greenish tint if algae grows on them. The outermost band, which is actively growing, is white. Close examination may reveal very fine hairs on some parts of the cap. The hymenophore on the underside has very tiny pores and is usually white to pale brown.

Turkey tail usually grows in big, layered clusters; some particularly large flushes may have hundreds of individual mushrooms. It only grows on the dead wood of deciduous trees. As it decays the lignin (and, to a lesser degree, cellulose) in the wood, it is included among the white-rot fungi. While many mushrooms only last a few days to a couple of weeks, turkey tails may persist for months.

Other organisms it could be confused with and how to tell the difference: There are several shelf-like mushrooms that are quite similar to turkey tail. Let’s look at a few of the more common ones.

False turkey tail (Stereum ostrea) at first glance looks very similar, with its varied rings of brown and pale outer edge. However, a look at the underside reveals a smooth surface rather than the pores of true turkey tail. It also tends to be more reddish in tone and lighter overall, lacking the dark center often seen in turkey tail.

Note the smooth surface on the pale underside of the false turkey tail mushroom. By JSmall, CCA-4.0

The gilled polypore (Trametes betulina, formerly Lenzites betulina) looks rather like an old, pale, washed-out turkey tail. As its common name suggests, though, it has gills instead of pores underneath the cap.

Note the gills on the underside rather than the turkey tail’s pores. By Wilhelm Zimmerling PAR, CCA-SA-4.0

There are other Trametes species that do have pores like turkey tail does; ochre bracket (Trametes ochracea) is one example. In this case, careful examination of the coloration of prime specimens will reveal paler colors on average.

Note how much paler these T. ochracea are.

Splitgill mushrooms (Schizophylum commune) may superficially look like turkey tails at first glance, but upon examination the more uniformly pale upper cap and deeply grooved gills underneath give it away as another species entirely.

Anything else worth mentioning? While turkey tail mushrooms are not generally considered to be edible, they may be an organic substitute for chewing gum. They also have purported medicinal value. Japan allows its compound, Polysaccharide-K, as a supplementary treatment for cancer; it is also taken as a dietary supplement elsewhere. Studies regarding PSK’s efficacy in treating cancer, immune deficiencies, or other ailments are contradictory at best. While long-term use does not seem to have any particularly toxic effects, it is not recommended for pregnant people, and taking turkey tail can cause darkened stool and fingernails, and diarrhea.

As with any supplement that has not received FDA approval, caution is advised, as is speaking with your physician prior to use. The fad associated with recent Western use often skirts the line of pseudoscience, and most of the websites I found about this species were people selling it while exaggerating potential effects regarding things like gut health and general immune responses. While turkey tail is a common mushroom, overharvesting in an area can reduce the availability of spores and potentially hinder the fungus’ reproduction there.

how do you deal with being immunocompromised when basically all the covid measures have been dropped? i'm newly diagnosed with lupus and i'm so, so afraid and just really finding it difficult to cope with the fact that infection and hospitalization is basically a given if people continue to ignore precautions :/

I worry about myself! You can never control other people, no matter your situation and it's frustrating for everyone, even people who are lucky enough to not have chronic illness!

It can sound hard, but I really don't go out. Even before covid, the world isn't set up to function sick people like myself with lots of food sensitivies and dietary restrictions, bowel movements so fucked up that I need a bathroom with multiple stalls everywhere I go or I'll have a panic attack, chronic pain, and trying to recover into sobriety. Stuff like parties and bars have been off my menu for a long time now and it was honestly incredibly sad for a long time and sometimes I still feel upset about it even though the world and people aren't doing it to spite me.

I feel most confident in the face of covid things by making sure I have done everything I can for my own immune system even though I do not pretend it's enough. I eat very well, I take food supplements every day (grass fed and finished beef organs, oysters, and turkey tail mushroom for immunity), don't go to highly populated places, and I don't drink any alcohol. And that does count for something, whether people want to acknowledge that or not.

I am really sorry to hear you are going through this incredibly difficult and polarizing situation, I know it can feel incredibly lonely and like everyone is trying to hurt you. People don't know what they don't know, and able bodied people can only ever imagine what it's like to be not able bodied, sick, and having to worry about things they don't.

Be kind to yourself, and make it clear to the people you love what you need and be strong and accept when they aren't willing to meet you where you need met! And have consequences in place to make sure you're as safe as you can be.

The cooler temperatures of November have coaxed the turkey tail mushrooms out of the logs we got from a tree crew at our neighbor's. I was sad to see the sycamore tree go but life goes on in these felled sections. Carpenter bees have tunneled into them and made entry for all other sorts of organisms. I've used some for filling my raised bed. Other slices are platforms for potted plants. I'll leave my thoughts about repurposing life in this way as a form of spiritualism to another post, but these stumps are just one way I see it all around me.
