Turkey Tail fungus Trametes versicolor Mushroom in resin Earrings with green stone beads

These charms are cuttings of the same specimen of Trametes versicolor fungus. The green color is caused by algae growth in the humid habitat (southeastern Michigan summer). The stone beads enhance the foresty charm 🌲🌱🌳

Turkey Tail is a beautiful and desirable fan-shaped mushroom that often grows in colonies and rosettes. The cap is covered in slightly-fuzzy rows of distinct warm colors while the underside has barely-visible pores. Holistic practitioners often use this polypore for its health properties, citing immunity, digestion, and oncology benefits.
