The Turkey Tail (TT) mushroom is very similar to Reishi mushrooms in the way that it grows. Often on decaying fallen or dying trees. It is a shelf or bracket polypore fungus which actually resembles the colorful tail of a turkey, thus its recognizable name. They appear in a wide array of colors which fanout in a way rainbow pattern. Having a smooth velvety cap when fresh, the colors may be light to dark brown, yellow to red, grey and even bluish! If they are green, this is usually from algae, moss or lichen that has symbiotically grown upon the surface. Best to leave these types as there are plenty without other friendly growths them. This specific genus grows from North America to Europe & Asia & is found in latitudes from Northern Canada to the southern US.

HISTORY

As with much traditional uses, the Chinese Materials Medica published over 2,000 years ago hold the first record uses of Turkey Tail as a cultural phenomenon medicine. In 1578 in the “Compendium of Chinese Material Medica” by Li She Zhen, there are 120 varieties of what they called “Yunzhi” (TT) mentioned. In TCM, TT is said to have a sweet and bland taste, being slightly cold and belonging to the liver, spleen and lung meridians (one of the reasons it has an affinity to the female chest). It was used to relieve asthma, invigorate the spleen and remove dampness. In the 17th century, a medical text by author Lu Zhivi described the  “Five Colored Divine Lucidium” which many scholars have presumed to be speaking of the Turkey Tail. This description essentially translates to “Mountains, rivers, clouds and rain, the essence of yin and yang in the four seasons and five elements, give birth to the five-colored divine lucidum”. Also depicting it’s spread of growth as “Mushroom Zhi grows on the deep mountains and big trees, on the side of the deep spring, with five colors and tasteless, or like the shape of dragons and tigers”.

Although it is not a fungi one would readily eat in the wild or upon foraging, some have said that it is a substitute for chewing gum. It has always been used in extractions or decoctions for tea and when powdered can be consumed as a powder in shakes or in capsules. The powder has also been added to stews, curries and soups, or added to vegetables and rice dishes.
