The best Turkey Tail according to scientists
Turkey Tail (Coriolus versicolor) is a power-shroom.
It is one of the most popular traditional remedies in Chinese and Japanese medicine and is still used today in modern Asian medicine, especially as an adjunct to cancer therapies.

In 1987 the polysaccharide Krestin (PSK), a hot water extract from turkey tail, topped annual sales in Japan of $358 million. This accounted for 25.5% of the country’s total anti-cancer drugs sales.

Live life to the full
Trametes versicolor is also called Coriolus versicolor or more colloquially ‘Turkey Tail’, because it resembles the tail of a turkey. Turkey Tail is a colourful bracket fungus native to Asian, American and European woodlands. You can find it on decomposing hardwood stumps, branches and twigs and occasionally on conifers.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the mushroom is a symbol of Yang energy. The mushroom is described as an effective vitality mushroom with the characteristics of sweet and slightly warm. Natural products with these TCM characteristics are considered to be activating, motivating, and stimulating.
There has been renewed interest for medicinal mushrooms and forest bathing to improve one’s health and wellbeing.
