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

Description

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

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

A plant pathogen, it is found on dead wood of deciduous trees, especially beechwood. It is found all year round and persists due to its leathery nature.^[3]

Biotechnology

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