Turkey Tail (Trametes versicolor)

Trametes versicolor or Coriolus versicolor’s (commonly known as Turkey tail fungus) name makes reference to its multicoloured rings. It is thin and its texture and colours resemble that of tree bark. This particular fungi is a mushroom, and grows year-round on dead or downed trees. It is most notable for its medicinal properties. According to (Pop et al. 2018), turkey tails have strong antioxidant properties, particularly helpful in reducing free radicals and other culprits caused by cancer development, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative disorders, etc., which typically worsen the toll of the diseases and lead to associated diseases. For this reason immunopotentiators from turkey tails are implemented alongside chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatments against cancers and other diseases, as reported by (Cui et al. 2003).
