Turkey tail fungus is easy to remove.
Turkey tail fungus is one of the most common varieties of fungus in the northern hemisphere. Turkey tail fungus grows on dead or dying trees and logs. They fan out like a turkey tail and have white, brown, tan orange, red, purple or a color combination of stripes. Turkey tail fungus can be removed from the tree and eaten. However, it is very tough and leathery. Some chew it like gum. Others boil it for hours to make a medicinal tea. And still others use it to make a natural dye for paper and clothing.
Instructions
1. Search for turkey tail fungus that looks vigorous and healthy with clean, bright-white pore surfaces.
2. Cut the turkey tail fungus away from the tree with your knife. Slice through the fungus at the point where it meets the tree. Get as close to the tree as you can. Don't worry about removing some of the bark. Turkey tail fungus only preys on trees that are dead or dying.
3. Rinse the turkey tail fungus with cool clean water.
4. Cut off the portion of the fungus that was attached to the tree.
