Trametes hirsuta, commonly known as hairy turkey tail[1] or hairy bracket, is a species of fungus.

Description

[edit]

The cap is up to 15 centimetres (6 in) wide, exceptionally 30 cm.[1] It is whitish gray, with short hairs and subtle zoning, sometimes tomentose and yellowish or darker near the margin.[1] The flesh is tough, up to 5 millimetres (1⁄4 in) thick,[1] with a soft gray upper layer and a whitish lower layer separated by a black plane.[2] It is too tough for consumption.[1]

Similar species

[edit]

Similar species include T. pubescens, which is unzoned, buff in colour, and without layered flesh. T. versicolor is more distinctively zoned.[2] T. occidentalis appears to be closely related.[1]

Ecology

[edit]

It is found on dead wood of deciduous trees, especially beechwood. It is found all year round, persisting due to its leathery nature.[3]

Biotechnology

[edit]

Lyophilized cell cultures of Trametes hirsuta yield aldehydes from alkenes, representing a biotransformation alternative to ozonolysis.[4]
