Turkey tails aren't always where you think they'll be

I don't think they qualify as turkey tails when they're this big, I want to call this shelf fungus/aka bracket fungus. It was as hard as a rock.

These however are turkey tails! "Trametes versicolor; the top surface of the cap shows typical concentric zones of different colors, and the margin is always the lightest. It commonly grows in tiled layers in groups or rows on logs and stumps of deciduous trees, and is common in North America." (source)

These are all at Elk Rock Garden, I paid another visit recently.



Later that same afternoon I stopped to poke around at Metalwood Salvage.. I was rather shocked to see these turkey tails growing from a tape-wrapped wooden handle...

Crazy! I almost bought the shears just to be able to watch what happens on the handle.
