What is Turkey Tail good for?
Turkey Tail, Trametes versicolor is a functional mushroom that is also a prebiotic, best known for its ability to help encourage the population of good bacteria in your gut. It can also help support the body’s natural defences.
Why does Forest Super Foods' Turkey Tail get the best results?
Our Turkey Tail is 100% Australian Grown and organic.
We freeze dry our mushrooms: Our unique drying process is (almost) the nutritional equivalent to eating the mushroom fresh.
We use the whole mushroom, which contains the whole spectrum of nutrients, vitamins and compounds found in nature.
We include the mycelium: The ‘roots’ of the mushroom which are great for gut health and contain active compounds not found in the fruiting body.
When is the best time to take Turkey Tail?
You can take Turkey Tail any time of day, but we recommend taking it with your morning meal.
I'm new to Turkey Tail, what do I need to know?
Turkey Tail is an incredible gift from nature that can support our body’s natural defences and gut health… science is only just starting to uncover the incredible benefits contained in this special mushroom.
We take my guidance from nature – she is the one who created this incredible mushroom in the first place.
There are 4 things you should consider as a first time buyer of Turkey Tail mushroom:
- Is it a whole food or an extract?
- Concerns about heavy metals/pollution
- How is it dried?
- Does it include the mycelium?
1. Is it a whole food or an extract?
Let’s break down what an “extract” is. You take a plant or a mushroom and extract one or two compounds and then suspend those compounds in water or alcohol. This is how you take a solid (ie: a Turkey Tail mushroom) and make it into a liquid.
Whilst this is cheap to produce, it doesn’t contain the full spectrum of benefits contained within the mushroom. I’m pretty sure we can’t even identify half the active compounds in Turkey Tail… let alone extract them!
Over thousands of years, this incredible mushroom has evolved to the super food it is today. To me it is a little arrogant to think we can improve on that further by adding alcohol/water.
What is more, both humans and the mushrooms have evolved together meaning our bodies recognise the mushroom as food. Once you isolate certain compounds it is no longer as readily recognisable by the human body.
That’s why we prefer a whole food Turkey Tail supplement. Something that contains the full spectrum of nutrients, vitamins and active compounds (even if we can’t yet identify what half of them are!)
2. Concerns about heavy metals/pollution
Mushrooms are super absorbent. If you ever go out foraging with an experienced person, you will notice they never harvest from the side of the road.
Why?
Because the mushrooms will most likely absorb the pollution from the passing cars. They can also absorb heavy metals from the water.
We wouldn’t feel comfortable eating an imported mushroom, so we won’t sell them when there is Australian grown readily available.
Even if it is “certified organic” we would still be dubious about the growing methods and quality of the water.
Australia has a reputation for the best clean air and clean water on the planet… it’s a no brainer for me.
3. How is it dried?
Fresh is always best. No matter what you are drying there is always some nutrient loss in the drying process. Our aim is to deliver our mushrooms as close to “fresh” as possible.
How do we do this?
With a technology known as freeze drying. Freeze drying very quickly takes the mushroom to -65 degrees celsius because it happens so quick it minimises nutrient loss dramatically compared to other drying methods. It’s “snap” dried.
Freeze drying is (almost) nutritionally equivalent to eating the mushroom fresh.
It’s a very expensive process but one that we think is well worth the extra cost.
4. Does it include the mycelium?
Have you heard the claim “mycelium is just filler”? It’s an interesting claim and I am yet to see any evidence that it is true.
The mycelium contains a whole lot of the benefits contained in the mushroom. Just like the roots of other plant materials (think valerian root, ashwagandha root, etc).
It becomes obvious that mycelium is not a filler if you do some research… so why do sellers of imported mushroom extracts still insist that it is? Because the farms they buy from overseas don’t bother with the hassle of incorporating mycelium into the finished product.
Is Turkey Tail psychedelic?
No, Turkey Tail is not psychoactive.
Why does Forest Super Foods only do whole foods?
Unlike processed foods & extracts that are stripped of their natural goodness, whole foods retain their complete nutritional profiles, boasting a rich array of vitamins, minerals, fibre, and active compounds.
With their unparalleled ability to promote vibrant health, whole foods stand as the unrivalled champions of nutrition, offering us a safer and more varied amount of benefits than an extract.
Which is better powder or capsules?
There is no difference in terms of benefits but some people find capsules to be more convenient. Whichever you choose start with half the recommended amount to let your body get used to it.

Can a 15 year old female with gastric reflux/gerd with weak immune system take this?
Hi Resmy, We can't recommend children take the Turkey Tail as there have been no studies done with children to establish safety data :(

Love waking up and doing something good for my body! These are easy to take and make me feel so good – love everything from the Forest Superfoods range!
I was initially hesitant to fork out for a bundle of three mushrooms capsules due to the cost, but I do not regret it! As you can see from my half empty bottles, I’m halfway through a month’s supply of mushrooms (including this variety) and I couldn’t be happier with the purchase. After a terrible stomach bug, I wanted to rebuild my gut and reset my health. I feel great using all three in combination and do believe my gut is better, I feel calmer, and my health is rebuilding. This company is always fantastic to deal with and I’m a repeat customer who will keep coming back.
All good
I’ve been taking Super Forest reishi mushroom powder for 2 yrs. It’s the best I’ve even taken. Helps with my sleep quality a lot. I cannot be more grateful to this product as I had severe sleep disorder. Now I have slept much better and wake up refreshed in the morning. I will keep ordering it as long as I can. A big thank-you!
