Trametes versicolor (L.) Lloyd (1920)

 

Commonly known as the Turkey Tail. This shelf-fungus has small, thin, and leathery overlapping stalkless caps with multicolored concentric zones that alternate between smooth and hairy. It has a white pore surface. The tough basidiocarps will persist overwinter and can be found year-round on dead hardwood logs and stumps.

 

Also known as Polyporus versicolor and Coriolus versicolor
