False turkey tail

Found on a trail near the Kangamagus Scenic Byway in New Hampshire "Stereum ostrea, also called false turkey-tail and golden curtain crust, is a basidiomycete fungus in the genus Stereum. It is a plant pathogen and a wood decay fungus. The name ostrea, from the word 'oyster', describes its shape. With concentric circles of many colors, it highly resembles Trametes versicolor, turkey-tail, and is thus called the 'false turkey-tail'. The stemless fruiting body is shell-like and grows 1–7 cm (0.39–2.8 in) high. It is tough and inedible" www.inaturalist.org/guide_taxa/464016 AIMG 8329
