Turkeytail fungus on decaying tree - HD stock video

Turkeytail bracket fungus (Trametes versicolor) growing on decaying tree. This thin, leathery fungus attacks mainly dead wood, fallen or standing. It is most commonly found on hardwoods such as beech and oak, mainly as a saprobic (wood-rotting) fungus but sometimes as a weak parasite on living trees. A polysaccharide extract from the fungus, called PSK, has shown potential as an adjuvant for chemotherapy treatments of some types of cancer. Filmed in Carmarthenshire, Wales, UK
