## About
On a fallen hardwood log in a damp wood, turkey tail grows in tight, overlapping shelves, each cap banded in rings of brown, tan and rust that really do call to mind a fanned tail feather. It is one of the quiet, patient presences of the forest floor, and a fitting one for an unhurried morning habit.Trametes versicolor is among the most common bracket fungi in temperate forests worldwide. Tough and leathery rather than fleshy, it is almost never eaten whole and almost always extracted. These capsules are made from 100 percent fruiting bodies, extracted to concentrate the beta-glucans and polysaccharopeptides (PSK and PSP), using a dual extraction: a hot-water simmer first, then an alcohol soak to capture the triterpenes the water leaves behind. The fine brown powder goes into plant-based capsules, each a standardized dose. Turkey tail has long been used in East Asian herbal practice.DetailsTurkey tail, Trametes versicolor, 100 percent fruiting bodiesDual extraction: hot water, then alcoholPlant-based capsules, standardized doseNo fillers, grain or mycelium on starchHow to useTake two capsules each morning with food, ideally as part of a routine rather than a one-off. Some take them alongside a daily greens blend; others take them alone. This is a daily practice, not a medicine.Unglamorous and unhurried, which, for a mushroom, is most of the point.
