A turkey tail mushroom, scientifically known as Trametes versicolor or Coriolus versicolor, is a common polypore mushroom found on dead wood, recognized for its fan-like shape and colorful, banded appearance resembling a turkey's tail. While not typically eaten due to its tough texture, it is highly valued for its medicinal properties, particularly its potential immune-boosting and anti-cancer effects

Research studies have shown that Turkey Tail Mushrooms can help reduce adverse effects from chemotherapy or radiotherapy in people with colorectal cancer.

A study published in 2013 has shown that Turkey Tail Mushroom was beneficial in helping an 83-year-old woman treat and recover from advanced, metastatic inflammatory breast cancer.
