Can
you identify what's in this photo?
Each Wednesday morning
on Camp Lutherlyn's Facebook page
the Lutherlyn Environmental
Education Program posts a photo.
Readers
have all morning and afternoon
to
make their best guess about what the photo is.
Around
6 pm LEEP provides the answer and a brief explanation.
Each
week's What is it Wednesday post
will
also be posted on the Nature of Lutherlyn blog,
after it is posted on Facebook,
sometimes
with additional bonus information.
In
addition to bringing you current editions of What is it Wednesday
on the
Nature of Lutherlyn blog,
we
will be reposting old editions,
creating
a What is it Wednesday archive.
This
photo was posted as a What is it Wednesday on
November 27, 2019.
This colorful fungus is Trametes
versicolor, also known as turkey tail.
Turkey tail is a polypore bracket
fungus that usually grows in layers. It feeds on decaying matter, so is often
found on dead logs, as this one was.
It grows not just in North America but across Europe and
Asia as well. It is considered a medicinal mushroom in many places.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone, we at LEEP are thankful for all
of YOU!
