On November 19, I've captured these photos of the Turkey Tail growing on decomposing wood in our garden.
Lovely Turkey Tail growing on this piece of wood.
Over the past couple of years we have had to cut down quite some trees and this is how toadstools naturally decompose the wood.
A better closeup picture...

Beautiful and so interesting!
ReplyDeleteDearest Sarah,
DeleteWell, nature is full of surprises when it completes its cycle of life!
Toadstools are the very last one in that cycle and they look beautiful.
Hugs,
Mariette
Nature is wonderful. If it was not for mushrooms we would be up to our neck in dead wood.
ReplyDeleteI worked with dead wood years ago. They got promoted.
God bless.
Dearest Victor,
DeleteYes, toadstools can be very efficient in decomposing dead wood.
We sure can't win from them...
Hugs,
Mariette
Belle foto,peccato che sia un fungo così dannoso.
ReplyDeleteCara Olga,
DeleteNo, quei funghi velenosi non sono assolutamente dannosi ma molto utili.
Possono digerire il legno morto ciò che nessun altro essere vivente può fare. Quindi sono alla fine del ciclo di vita in natura, aiutando a decomporre il legno morto.
Abbracci,
Mariette
I never knew this was called "turkey tail!" It's aptly named. Isn't Nature amazing? :-)
ReplyDeleteDearest Kim,
DeleteTheir name giving is genial as they resemble a turkey tail so perfectly!
Nature is full of little miracles—if we only have an eye for it.
Hugs,
Mariette
They are beautiful when there are a lot of them together.
ReplyDeleteDearest Anne,
DeleteThey sure are and in general they seem to be well colonized on the dead wood's pieces.
Hugs,
Mariette
Helen here this morning ~~ the artistic wonder of nature never fails to amaze. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteDearest Helen,
DeleteOh, we can discover each and every day some little miracle in nature!
Happy to share our 'turkey tails' with our readers! 🦃
Hugs,
Mariette
Resulta muy atractiva, viendo estas fotos.
ReplyDeleteBesos.
Querida Antónia,
DeleteGracias y son casi perfectos, de aspecto mágico.
Abrazos,

Hi, Mariette and Pieter!
ReplyDeleteWhen I read the title, I thought you had turkeys running around your property in the night and you had found their trails!!! XD
Well, this proves that one is always learning!
Lost of higs!
:)
Dearest Paula,
DeleteWell, in front of the greenhouse, near the creek, I've seen only ONCE a life turkey!
But we're surrounded by woods—no doubt they're hiding somewhere.
Maybe the kitties know more about all our residents on the 1.2 hectare property and don't forget the adjacent properties.
Hugs,
Mariette
HUGS!!! ;P
ReplyDeleteNo problem—I've done that so often—too fast typing 😏
DeleteWe are like Lucky Luke: faster than our shadow! ;)
DeleteAbout live turkeys, I have to say they are a bird I respect too much, to be around them (I'm scared of them!)!!!
:P
🦃
DeleteI had no idea this was called "turkey tail". Its name is fitting. Nature is indeed amazing!
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings, dearest Mariette!
Dearest Veronica,
DeleteIndeed a perfectly fitting name!
They are beautiful.
Hugs,
Mariette
They look lovely those turkey tails!
ReplyDeleteDearest Ada,
DeleteYes they do and so true to their name!
Hugs,
Mariette

ReplyDeleteCaro Giancarlo,
DeleteGrazie e abbracci,
Mariette
It's curious how when I see mushrooms in nature, I remember you. Just a few days ago I went for a walk in a nearby mountain and found a lot of wild mushrooms. I didn't even touch them because I don't know them.
ReplyDeletexoxo
Dearest Christina,
DeleteThis is the season for finding mushrooms in nature—at the end of the growing cycle. Only mushrooms can digest the lignine and wood parts and with that they close the cycle.
Fascinating to watch them! You're clever for not even touching them.
Hugs,
Mariette
Pois é, vivendo e aprendendo, eu nunca tinha visto!!
ReplyDeleteJamais imaginei que cogumelos alimentavam-se assim!
E vocês são mestres nesse conhecimento, maravilha!
Abraços!!
Prezados Taís,
DeleteSim, os cogumelos fecham o ciclo na natureza porque são os únicos que podem digerir partes lenhosas. Um belo sistema nossa Mãe Natureza!
Abraços,
Mariette
Oh, I've never seen that before. These are interesting pictures. Sometimes fungus can be poisonous, so be careful. : )

Dearest Sheri,
DeleteYes, the Turkey Tail is a beautiful toadstool.
Both of us know a little about the subject so don't worry 😏
Hugs,
Mariette
