| Turkey tail mushrooms growing on a log |
On my walk in the forest I spotted these circular fungi growing on a log, and they are called trametes versicolor, or more commonly known as turkey tails!
The underside should be white, and I have read they are edible, though they are on the tough side and would need to be cooked a bit longer in liquid. They can also be steamed, grilled or roasted. These fungi apparently have a nutty flavour and chewy texture.
Another way to eat them is by drying them and grounding them into powder or steeped in hot water to make tea!
