Extract from Wikipedia article: Trametes versicolor – also known as Coriolus versicolor and Polyporus versicolor – is a common polypore mushroom found throughout the world. Meaning 'of several colours', versicolor reliably describes this fungus that displays different colors. For example, because its shape and multiple colors are similar to those of a wild turkey, T. versicolor is commonly called turkey tail.
Trametes versicolor is a polypore fungus characterized by its multicolored appearance, typically displaying zones of gray, brown, white, and black. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, it is commonly found on deciduous trees, particularly on birch, aspen, and alder, often growing on stumps, logs, and dead branches. The fungus thrives in temperate climates with moderate temperatures and humidity, making the region's mixed forests an ideal habitat. It fruits from July to October, with a peak in August and September.
