A Beautiful Slow Growing Mushroom.
Turkey Tail mushrooms are a visual treat. They grow in clusters of fan-shaped caps with concentric rings of vibrant colors like red, brown, yellow, and even violet. They grow on decaying logs and branches in forests around the world, and the good news is – they're relatively slower growers compared to the oyster varieties. With proper care, you can cultivate your own Turkey Tail bounty in a matter of weeks. (3-6weeks)
