THE MUSHROOM OF MANY COLORS
Turkey tail grows in overlapping rosettes on fallen logs and stumps, each cap striped in bands of brown, tan, rust and cream. It's one of the most common mushrooms in the world, and one of the most studied.Âą
Its key compounds are polysaccharopeptides, which researchers have studied for decades for their role in healthy immune function.¹ In a randomized human study, they also acted like a prebiotic, helping support a healthy balance of gut bacteria.²
WILD HARVESTED FRUITING BODY
Many mushroom powders are grown on rice or oats, and the finished powder is often mostly leftover grain. Ours is the wild-harvested mushroom itself, gathered from the forest where it grows on hardwood.
We extract it into a fine, medium brown powder, then test and pack it in the USA. It has a mild, earthy taste that disappears into a morning coffee or cacao.
THE BENEFITS OF TURKEY TAIL
