Trametes versicolor, Turkey Tail Mushroom.
Nov. 25, 2017
Boise Idaho.
Temperature range for Nov, 5-25 : High of 66, Low of 43 degrees Fahrenheit.
Precipitation range for Nov, 5-25 : 0" -.25"
A fairly reliable method for knowing when to go mushroom hunting is knowing that mushrooms respond to temperature and precipitation changes. Typically, a two or three day temperature fluctuation of about ten degrees Fahrenheit combined with an increase of humidity can trigger a mushroom to "fruit".
Tails growing on old hardwood stump.
Fine hairlike texture is very similar in appearance and feel to leather or velvet.
Alternating bands of color that is similar to the semiprecious stone called tigers eye.
The inner tissue is bright white with a tough fleshy texture that tears perpendicular to the growth.
Visible pinhole sized pores can be seen throughout most of the tissue beneath the fanning caps.
