Dried Turkey Tail (Trametes versicolor) — wild-foraged from clean forest environments. Low-temperature dried to preserve natural colour, structure, and composition. 100% fruiting body — no mycelium on grain, no fillers, no additives.

Trametes versicolor (Turkey Tail) is one of the most widely distributed and recognisable fungi in temperate forests worldwide. It grows in overlapping fan-shaped tiers on decaying hardwood logs and stumps, displaying concentric bands of colour ranging from blue-grey to rust-brown to cream — the pattern that gives it the common name "turkey tail." It is one of the most extensively researched fungi in mycology, with a documented history of use in traditional Chinese and Japanese herbal practice (known as Yun Zhi in Chinese and Kawaratake in Japanese).

The dried fruiting bodies contain polysaccharopeptide (PSP) and polysaccharide-K (PSK), as well as beta-glucans — the primary bioactive compound families associated with this species.
