There’s nothing like Turkey Tail. Trametes versicolor for the win, the color variation is beyond my mental grasp. Vigorous grower, even during the cold months. A companion in the most unlikely places. I was surprised to see this cluster growing off a log that I know wasn’t growing last fall but indeed grew slowly over the early winter months and now sits and beautifies the freshly waken strawberry patch in the front yard. Turkey tail is so easy to grow in logs and in kits. This time of year they flourish and grow slowly and well from a kit, not needing much, but a soak here and there, easily set out during seasonal Spring showers, or just set in your sink and sprayed. So easy. Turkey Tail I feel is under used in log culture because folks think, “I find so much of it, why would I grow it?” Well I would have to say, if you grow it, then it’s right there, no fossil fuels needed to drive to the hills to find, no taking from ecosystems that are probably already being taken from and exhausted by other humans. I know it could be plentiful in some spots, but growing your own medicine, within your own plot of land is indeed liberating and doesn’t require much more, if you’re already doing logs of shiitake, oyster and other edible mushrooms. Just add that Turkey Tail in there!! It’s such good medicine! It’s just strong mycelium, great for preventing erosion within landscapes and more. Good for permaculture beds and Hugelkuktur. The list goes on and on with this one.
