Coriolus versicolor
Coriolus versicolor, also known as Turkey Tail mushroom, is a medicinal fungus traditionally used in Eastern medicine. It contains polysaccharides that may support the immune system by stimulating immune cells. Some research suggests it could help the body respond better to certain illnesses, including cancer, when used alongside conventional treatments. The mushroom is generally safe when properly prepared, but it’s important to consult a healthcare provider before use, especially for those with health conditions or on medications. Its name comes from its multicolored, fan-like appearance resembling a turkey’s tail.
