Turkey tail fungus in Gorbea Natural Park, Spain
The turkey tail fungus—Trametes versicolor, if you like binomial nomenclature—is fairly common around the world. And though it’s used in folk medicine teas and tinctures, it’s not something you’ll want to sauté up and serve alongside the sweet potatoes and cranberries today. Recent research indicates that a compound found in turkey tail fungus may help treat patients with various cancers. Way to go, turkey tail fungus!
