Late Winter Finds - Trametes versicolor

Any time you go into the woods you'll find this mushroom. It is ubiquitous on old, fallen timber. It is rather lackluster when dry, fading to tints of light gray and tan. But, after a day or two of damp weather the colors really develop contrast and variety. Supposedly medicinal, I ground some of these to make a tea. Wouldn't describe the taste as good. Kinda tastes medicinal.
