Mushrooms ..actually fungus identified



You probably saw this photo awhile ago, my pics taken inside the Ravine of unidentified fungus mushrooms.I took the step of asking a mushroom expert who got back to me today. they are TURKEY TAILS fungus....so mystery solve ( nice to have turkeys in the Prospect woods)
