Here are some colorful examples of turkeytail for this #mushroommonday for the #fungilovers community
This blue batch of turkeytail is one of my favorites that I have found around here.
It is nearby in a park forest that is easily visitable.
I like to check in on them to see if they might change to a different color.
Here is another example of turkeytail
These ones get camouflaged in the brown leaves. Also check out the pores on the bottom of this turkeytail. False turkeytail is very smooth and thin compared to this.
Now for some false turkeytail. Notice how it looks much thinner.
False turkeytail comes in many different colors as well. This false turkeytail is not poisonous but has no health benefits like true turkeytail.
And a random rock with some cool lichen on it. Rocks are a bit rare here in Illinois as the glaciers during the ice age smashed most of them into dust.
