Turkey tail mushroom, scientifically known as Trametes versicolor, is a common polypore fungus found globally. It features a distinctive fan-shaped cap with concentric circles of colour, resembling the tail of a wild turkey. This mushroom is notable for its medicinal properties, particularly its potential immune-boosting effects, attributed to polysaccharide compounds such as PSP and PSK. Turkey tail is often used in traditional medicine and as a supplement in various forms, including powders and extracts, to support overall health and combat illnesses. Additionally, it has antioxidant properties and may aid in gut health. Always consult a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement regimen.
