WELCOME FUNGI LOVERS
🍄🍄🍄
For this weeks Fungi Friday by 
A little research about the Turkey Tail fungi.
The Turkey Tail mushroom can be found on decaying logs and tree stumps and is celebrated for both its ecological significance and its potential health benefits. It plays a crucial role in breaking down dead wood, aiding in decomposition and nutrient recycling. Its fan-shaped caps feature concentric rings in various hues, ranging from shades of brown to blue, green, and even purple as can be observed in the following photo.
The Turkey Tail fungi has garnered attention for its medicinal uses. It contains bioactive compounds like polysaccharopeptides (PSP) and polysaccharide-K (PSK), which have shown promise in supporting the immune system and may have anti-cancer properties. Research suggests that Turkey Tail extracts may help against infections and illnesses. Asian cultures have long recognized the therapeutic potential of Turkey Tail and have used it in traditional medicine. Nowadays it is often consumed as a supplement in form of a powder in capsules or in tea form for its potential health benefits. It’s medicinal properties aren‘t fully researched yet, but Turkey Tail continues to be a symbol of the intricate interplay between nature and human well-being.
Last but not least let‘s have a look from underneath.

In the second part of the article i present to you the so called „False Turkey Tail“ or Hairy Curtain Crust fungi. I was lucky to find a pretty big and colorful colony of this mushroom and it wasn‘t too hairy to shoot them 😉
A little research about the Hairy Curtain Crust fungi.
A fungi with a crust-like growth and a distinctive "hairy" surface texture. Typically found on dead and decaying wood, Hairy Curtain Crust fungi are widely distributed across temperate forests and woodlands. These fungi often display vibrant orange to reddish-brown hues. Their wavy, irregular margins and the dense, hair-like structures on their upper surface make them easily recognizable to those familiar with woodland fungi.
While Hairy Curtain Crust fungi are not considered edible, they play a vital ecological role in decomposing woody debris, recycling nutrients and contributing to the overall health of forest ecosystems. Beyond their ecological importance Hairy Curtain Crust fungi have the ability to produce secondary metabolites with potential medicinal properties. Researchers have explored these compounds for their antimicrobial and antioxidant properties suggesting that further investigation into this unassuming fungus may hold promise for future applications in medicine and biotechnology.
To leave you with a nice mushroom image in mind i saved my favorite shot of this series for last, enjoy.
