The Mycorana

This is a Blue Trametes Mycorana.

Known for its natural deceptive camouflage, Mycrorana have very potent medicinal properties and used in healing medicine. If frightened it will secrete a potent toxin that would make its prey very ill if ingested and possibly fatal.

They are exceptional at camouflaging themselves in the wild and are considered harmless. They feed on a diet of mostly Trametes Versicolor (Turkey Tail) fungi which is apparent in their appearance as over many generations the fungus has incorporated itself into the genetic makeup of this amphibian family.

Trametes versicolor – also known as Coriolus versicolor and Polyporus versicolor – is a common polypore mushroom found throughout the world. Meaning 'of several colors', versicolor reliably describes this fungus that displays different colors. For example, because its shape and multiple colors are similar to those of a wild turkey, T. versicolor is commonly called turkey tail. A similar looking mushroom, commonly called false turkey tail, which is from a different order, may sometimes be confused with the turkey tail mushroom due to appearance. Another lookalike is the multicolor gill polypore.
