This color palette is derived from the Turkey Tail Shelf Mushroom, (Trametes Versicolor). This type of mushroom is called a polypore, and the specific kind is a bracket mushroom that often grows on rotting wood. This fungus has a pronounced ability to resist rot due to the anti-pathogenic compounds it produces. Historically, the mushroom has been known to have the ability to boost the immune system and help with the recovery of cancer. There have been no poisonous forms of this fungus found to date.
