There are a few other common turkeytail look-alikes you will probably come across in Illinois as well. Stereum ostrea, whose common English name is "False turkeytail," is fairly common in the area.

Oh yeah I know stereum well, it tends to be thinner and bends upward but still has a variety of interesting colors. Are the morels out yet in your area. So far none have sprouted down here yet.
Nope, not yet. Just got back from another hunt. Didn't find any morels but got plenty of pictures of some other fungi and some birds, so I didn't leave empty-handed.
Been raining all weekend here so hopefully that triggers them finally.
