The Turkey Tail mushroom is a proven medicinal mushroom species that is increasing in popularity. Although inedible in the conventional sense, they can be used in capsules, teas and tinctures. They are also added to the new trendy medicinal mushroom coffee blends. They are quite common throughout much of the world, in fact, they often appear on Shiitake logs as a "weed".

This video from Feral Foraging is very clear and should help anyone who would like to harvest and use this species safely:
Below are some photos of Turkey Tails in my garden.
