Description
These fungi are called "Turkey Tail" because of their resemblance to same. Their term versicolor also describes the multiple sections of varying colors. These are not like gilled mushrooms, but rather a hard, even tough fungus with a porous under-surface, and it grows on dead or dying trees and branches. They can be quite variable in color and beautiful.

So very decorative. Just when you think you know all about nature, this comes up for view. This could be designs for women's skirts, a troupe of ballerinas. I would have used this in some way had I found these as a child. We made our dancers from hollyhocks....! v/f
Carol Senske replied:
I had great fun reading your comment, Nancy, and now have a new vision in my head - swirling skirts:>) Thank you kindly for the V/F and the visit!

Carol Senske replied:
They are beautiful, aren't they! I never thought to use them as a shelf, in spite of the common name, but I bet they look wonderful on your wall:>) Thank so much for the V/F and great comment. Now I have a decorating idea!
