Additionally, owing to its shape being similar to that of a wild turkey's tail feathers, T. versicolor is most commonly referred to as turkey tail. [1] A similar-looking mushroom commonly called " false turkey tail " is from a different order ( Stereum ), and thus may sometimes be confused with the 'true' turkey tail mushroom, T. versicolor .
The eggs are pale green, round, and flattened, with a diameter of about 0.5 millimetres (0.020 in). They are laid singly on buds and flowers of a food plant. The caterpillars are 0.7 centimetres (0.28 in) long, green with a dark red line along the back, and light and dark lines partway along the sides.
The Nidulariaceae ('nidulus' - small nest) are a family of fungi in the order Agaricales. Commonly known as the bird's nest fungi , their fruiting bodies resemble tiny egg-filled birds' nests. As they are saprobic , feeding on decomposing organic matter , they are often seen growing on decaying wood and in soils enriched with wood chips or bark ...
Australian brushturkey building his mound Leaf litter nest of an Australian brushturkey in northern Sydney. They build large nests on the ground made of leaves, other compostable material, and earth, 1 to 1.5 metres (3.3 to 4.9 ft) high and up to 4 m (13 ft) across. [3]
The clutch size is usually one egg, sometimes two, laid close to a small shrub or bush on unadorned ground. The shell is marked with olive-brown blotching and streaks over most of the surface, perhaps more completely covering the larger end of the egg, the background colour is a lighter shade of olive-brown or olive-green.
The nest is a shallow depression or scrape on the ground—often in cover—with a scanty lining of plant material. The female lays one clutch, but may replace it if the eggs are lost. She begins to lay about a week after mating and lays one egg every day or two; the clutch comprises five to 12 eggs.
Trametes hirsuta, commonly known as hairy bracket or hairy turkey tail, [1] is a fungal 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.
Any eggs displaced from the nest are retrieved by head or snout rolling, and rotten eggs are eaten. American five-lined skinks also exhibit antipredation behavior. In evasion of various predators including snakes, crows, hawks, shrews, moles, opossums, skunks, raccoons, and domestic cats, skinks may disconnect their entire tail or a small segment.
