fascinating funghi

Reminds me of moths' wings.

yes me too

I think it's called Turkey something , I will need to get my book out .. yes here it is Turkey Tail

oh i can see why ~ thanks amy. it wasnt very big, made it more attractive i think

You can see how it got that name can't you Sticki ?

certainly, it didnt say gobble gobble though!!!

You didn't fall close enough to it Sticki or you would have heard it !

ah possibly true. didnt fall over near this one though!!!

Thanks for capturing this one for us fungi finder Sticki.

in the same woods as the oak moss i found on sunday, nice little place but busy roads nearby

Roads :( Look forward to more expeditions and the fruits of.

yep this one is next to the A38 and yards from the M5.

i shall keep looking!!!!

Beautiful detail there....

Fascinating, lovely colors and patterns;0)

Very interesting and I can see where the name comes from. Great photo, Sticki.

thats just brilliant

thank you Dotty, Pansy, Gee and Yorkshire, its interesting to find out more ~ like the name ~ i wouldnt have had a clue ~ so thanks again Amy

google it,

looks very much like Meripilus Giganteus

it does a bit yorkshire except that it isnt very big. i think its the turkey tail like amy said.

I'll re investigate

Amy could well be right,

thank you Prof York

your so welcome my dear friend, anything else you want to know then please feel free to ask, after all thats what I'm here for,

well i know that!!!

let me think ~ do you know if we can eat it and if so what is the best recipe?

oh and where was it first discovered and by whom???

is that enough for today?

yes you can eat it, best braised slowly with onions and garlic and a few herbs, I do believe it was first discovered in the black forest by a Dr. Dolittle, i will have to check it out, but I think you will find one is correct,

no doubt he could talk to it too!! suppose he said 'now hop up into this lovely braised onion stew!!'

i never doubt one [yorkshire] is correct
.
.
.
i wouldnt dare!!!

of course he could talk to it, do you no nothing Sticki, dear O Dear

and thats because he is really a fun guy!!??

now now stick don't get smart, I am trying my hardest to educate you,, one rather thinks one should look up my Dr Doolittle you will be rather amazed at all the wonderful things he could do, not only could he talk to the animals he could talk to the tree fungi also,

well its a pity he couldnt talk to the slugs and tell them to CLEAR OFF!!!

One gave you advice yesterday regarding the slugs, cucumber in an aliminium tray, I am just wasting my time and breath with you," WHY DON'T YOU LISTEN TO ME"

anyone who might just read this lot, I bet their hearts go out to me for my patience with you,

im not sure homebird im getting scared cos yorkshire is cross

and perhaps they will feel sorry for poor me????????????

Oh my G-D I have another one on here, who mentioned Bum may I ask, Oh no Homebird, its not a real turkey with a bum its a tree fungi, G-d give me strength

why should people feel sorry for you when you are acting like an idiot, I am trying to educate you,

yorkshire i think relaxation time is overdue!!! im very worried about your stress levels

its hard enough with you Sticki, now we have homebird wanting to talk about bums,

now yorkshire think you will have to answer that!!!

Hang on a minute, who you calling a clever clogs lady, and no patience, don't call me the Saint for nothing, and I'm not sex mad like you H/B Bums what a thing to want to discuss on GOY

well what did you want to call it?? the turkey's derriere????

no wonder your computer's break yorkshire ~ i bet you are hammering onto those keys

actually sticki one is extremely calm this end,

well one might be but i dont think yorkshire is

well I am calm, not like you, all mouth and no drawers. beat that.

im not speaking now cos thats not true.

Y e s, I finally beat you, yippee,

Oh no not another smart A--e joined in,

don't worry about her, she will soon bounce back,

boing boing boing

gotta make tea

There you go H/B what did I tell you, the little joeie has just bouced back, I'm off nearly time for a beer,

ricotta and spinach canelloni, not tried it before???
