Turkey Tail Mushrooms (Trametes versicolor) were given their name due to the fact that their circular blue, green, and brown coloring looks very similar to that of a Turkey’s tail. These mushrooms can be found in woodlands across the world and have been foraged for their medicinal properties. They have been doccumented being used in medicine as far back as the 15th century in China. Turkey Tail would be dried or ground up and then used in a multitude of ways. One popular method included boiling the powder or dried pieces into a tea where their extract can be fully ingested and its earthy taste can easily be mellowed by a spoonful of honey. It is common for Turkey Tail and Reishi mushrooms to be paired together into one tea.
Turkey Tail has been used to inhibit the growth of cancer cells, prebiotic abilities, has been theorized to help prevent obesity, and immune system boosting abilities.
These capsules contain 100% dried and powdered Turkey Tail Mushroom fruiting bodies. On our farm, we raise Turkey Tail Mushrooms on Ash tree logs.
