Turkey Tail Mushrooms and their benefits! #mushrooms #turkeytail #foraging #survival #bushcraft
In a study led by Dr. Stephen Barnhill and Dr. Herb Fritsch, researchers tested 10 different mushroom extracts against 10 cancer cell lines.
(Comment TULSY and I will send you a link to the full interview)
๐ Chaga came out on topโmost effective against 6 out of 10 cancer typesโฆand showed effectiveness against 2 more.
Reishi beat it on two (HER2+ breast and uterine), and turkey tail was the strongest against lung cancer.
But hereโs what makes this really exciting๐
When you combine the top-performing mushroomsโchaga, reishi, turkey tail, cordyceps, maitake, and lionโs maneโyou get a powerhouse blend that supports your body from multiple angles.
Some target cancer.
Some support brain health.
Others boost immunity and cardiovascular health.
When you flood your body with compounds from whole, plant-based foodsโand ditch the processed junkโyou give your body what it needs to repair, restore, and thrive!

Meet Tulsy Ball, who went from acting to filmmaking to fungi (I know, I know).
In 2014, Tulsy and his brother Premu discovered the incredible healing properties of chaga mushrooms, while on a documentary film project in Alaska. Chaga mushrooms played a key role in their sisterโs recovery from breast cancer and inspired them to develop a unique, and dare I say, โrevolutionaryโ mushroom extract process and the company Chagit Wellness.

Turkey tail mushroom (trametes versicolor) is a wonderful beginner friendly mushroom to forage, great for kids to get involved
Letโs get straight into how to identify it:
- it should be fan shaped and resemble a turkeyโs tail
- a bracket mushroom
- concentric varying colour circles, outer is always white
- it has pores underneath (polypore mushroom) that are white, False Turkey tail have brown pores not white
- underneath must be white
- the top should feel leathery or velvety
- it does not have gills underneath or no sponges or spikes on top
Remember the true organism lives with in the fallen log or the tree that you are looking to harvest from. The mushrooms are the fruit. This is a fungus that eats away at the lignin parts of the tree, these are the parts that help fight disease and bugs in the tree.
The fungus turns these into polysaccharides which have been widely researched. There are fantastic talks online from @paulstamets discussing the benefits it can have for people going through chemotherapy. It has been used for an immunity boost, to support people with low energy, reduce fatigue, boost gut health and possibly support weight loss by managing blood sugar levels. It has no psycho active compounds.
My One Minute Gardener harvested these mushrooms for me by gently pulling them from the tree without impacting the bark and taking only a tiny amount. They were brought home, washed clean and left them on the windowsill to take in some of the suns energy to create more vitamin D. We dried these further in the oven, low and slow. Once cooled it was blended down.
We can now add this to tea, soups, stews and many more recipes.
Do you use turkey tail in any recipes?
As always be 100% sure when identifying mushrooms or any wild food

Wild Mushroom Tonic ๐ This isnโt your average tea, itโs a wilderness health tonic made with homegrown reishi and foraged birch polypore & turkey tail ๐ค
The recipe:
๐โ๐ซ 100g dried mushrooms (50g per litre)
๐ฆ 2L purified water
๐ฅ Bring to a boil, then simmer for 2 hours
โป๏ธ Reuse the same mushrooms with 1.5L water, simmer 90 mins
๐ค Combine both extracts - you can continue to simmer it to reduce the amount of liquid.
Freeze in ice cube trays for easy daily use. Add a cube to drinks and food like tea, smoothies, soups and stews.
Itโs slow work, but true nourishment takes time and itโs worth it because reishi, birch polypore, and turkey tail are rich in antioxidants, helping fight free radicals and support immunity ๐ค
