Trametes versicolor, commonly known as Turkey Tails, is a polypore  bracket fungus notable for its striking, multi-coloured appearance, resembling a turkey's tail feathers. It is a thin, leathery fungus that grows in overlapping clusters on dead or decaying wood, particularly hardwoods. The fruiting body is fan-shaped, with concentric zones of various colours including brown, red, orange, blue, and white. The upper surface is velvety, with small white pores on the underside through which spores are released. It is widely distributed across temperate and tropical forests worldwide. Turkey Tail plays a crucial ecological role in wood decomposition, breaking down lignin and cellulose in dead trees, aiding nutrient cycling. Its ability to decompose tough plant matter makes it an essential part of forest ecosystems. In addition to its ecological role, T. versicolor has been studied for potential medicinal properties, particularly in cancer and immune system support.
