Turkey tail, also known as the Coriolus, is a polyporus fungus that grows on dying trees and decaying logs or stumps in temperate forests all over the world. It gets its name from the resemblance it bears to the tail of a wild turkey. Records of its first use date back to the 15th century, during the Ming Dynasty in China.
