Ochre Bracket

Trametes ochracea is a common polypore mushroom native to North America and Europe, although rarer than some other Trametes species. It is a related species to, and is a lookalike of the pale variety of Trametes versicolor. Like T. versicolor, it is commonly called turkey tail, and other common names are ochre bracket and ochre trametes.
