Mark N. Love the Turkey Tail extract. I have way more energy and stamina all day long, and the taste is a pleasant surprise.
Support your immune system. Feed your gut.
Damaged, wrong, or didn't arrive right? We replace it immediately. No forms, no fight.
A lot of the generic mushroom powders in tubs are mostly the grain the mycelium grew on. This is the whole mushroom, extracted.
What it is
That mushroom is what goes in the bottle. The wildcrafter we partner with forages it wild in Michigan, we extract it here, and it ends up as the milliliter you stir into a drink in the morning.
Our first batches were alcohol tinctures. At an early farmers market a customer told us straight out that it was hard to take, and that's why none of our extracts are made that way now.
The name is literal. Every bottle comes from a triple-fraction, multi-phase exhaustive extraction of whole fruiting bodies. No alcohol at any point. No solvents at any point. Just a full-spectrum extraction process formulated to preserve the compounds found in the whole fruiting body.
The research has only looked closely at a few of those compounds. So we extract the whole fruiting body, not just the few that happen to have been studied.
How to take it
Shake the bottle.
Stir one milliliter into a glass of water, or any drink you like. That's how we'd suggest taking this one.
Under your tongue works too, if you prefer it that way. Hold it there for about sixty seconds, then swallow.
The taste surprises people. It's sweet with a slight tart edge, from a dash of apple cider vinegar, and Turkey Tail brings dark, rich, foresty notes that pair very well with the slight darkness from the extract's formulation. You can take up to three milliliters a day, though most people do just fine with one.
Where it fits in your day
Turkey Tail is a morning extract, and it goes in a drink. The bottle that gets used is the one with a place in a day you already have, so here are four places it fits. Put the bottle where you'll see it, by the coffee machine or wherever you already go every single morning.
Always
Wild-foraged by our partner in Michigan. Extracted by us. Whole fruiting bodies. No alcohol, no solvents, water based.
Never
Mycelium grown on grain. Fillers and cheap binders. Anything hiding inside a proprietary blend. A claim we can't back up. A substitute for care a doctor has prescribed.
Absorbed
Stirred into a drink, a serving goes down through your stomach, and that's where nano-encapsulation earns its keep.
Under your tongue is a different road in, if you'd rather.
A liquid also makes a serving easy to take. One milliliter in a glass, no alcohol burn, nothing harsh to push through.
Every step, from the extraction to the milliliter in your glass, is there so that more of what we pulled out of the mushroom is still there when it reaches you.
What to expect
Everyone at the booth asks the same thing first. How fast will I feel it? Here is the honest answer, in the order it usually happens.
The first days
The first question anyone asks at the booth.
You may notice something early, or your first days may be quiet. Either is normal. Turkey Tail isn't really a feel-it thing. It's more about balance than a buzz.
The first weeks
Give it at least four to six weeks before you decide.
Same amount, same point in your day.
A month in
The bottle is either on the counter or it isn't.
A month in is when you can judge it. Look at the whole month, not any one morning. If Turkey Tail has earned its place in your routine, the bottle stays on the counter.
Which makes the next part the important part. Not the timeline. The habit.
One serving is 1 ml. The 1 oz bottle is thirty mornings. The 2 oz is sixty, and it ships free on its own. Subscribe and either size costs less, and the per-day figure under each price does the arithmetic for you. You can pause or skip whenever you need. Nothing is charged until checkout.

Foraged
We don't grow Turkey Tail. Our partner in Michigan picks it wild and whole, and we extract every batch right here.
Michigan Foraged wild on wood, then extracted on our farm in New Smyrna, Florida.
Extracted by Andrew Johnson and the team at Florida Shroom King, New Smyrna. You'll find us at four markets a week, and you can ask us anything you like. Meet the farmer
Who it's for
If everyday immune support is what you came for, this is the one. At the booth I usually ask how you sleep first, because when sleep is right, a lot of other things fall into place. That question sends most people to Reishi. If focus is what you're after, Lion's Mane is the morning bottle. And Trifecta puts Turkey Tail, Chaga and Reishi in one bottle. Not sure? Take the quiz.

Supports memory and mental clarity, with regular use.
Supports a steady, balanced mood.

Helps your body manage everyday stress.
Supports a healthy, balanced immune system.
Supports gut health as part of a balanced diet.
Chaga is technically not a mushroom; it is a sterile conk on birch trees.
Extract or powder
Both get sold as mushroom supplements, so the difference is easy to miss. This compares the two categories, not two brands.
| Compared on | Turkey Tail Triple ExtractWhat you get here | Mushroom powdersThe category |
|---|---|---|
| What is in it | Whole fruiting bodies. The mushroom itself. | Milled mushroom material, and in many products the grain the mycelium was grown on. |
| Whole or milled | Whole fruiting bodies, wild-harvested, extracted into liquid. | Milled material, and often much of it is the grain the mycelium was grown on. |
| Extracted or ground | A triple-fraction, ultrasound extraction in water. No alcohol, no solvents. | Usually milled rather than extracted. |
| How you take it | One to three milliliters, stirred into a drink or held under the tongue. | A scoop, mixed into a drink or into food. |
| What a serving is | One milliliter, thirty or sixty servings a bottle. | A scoop, measured by volume. |
| What is added | Glycerin, apple cider vinegar, sunflower lecithin. | Varies by product. |
If you came here comparing liquid to capsule. A capsule is usually dried mushroom or extract powder in a shell that you swallow. We don't make one. This is the mushroom pulled into a liquid you stir into a drink, or hold under your tongue for about sixty seconds. Both are fine ways to take a mushroom.
And you can find the person who made it. We extract it ourselves, and we hand it to people at four Central Florida farmers markets every week. Quality from fruit to finished product.
What's inside
Here's what's in it, transcribed from the label, and what each thing is doing.
Supplement Facts
† Daily Value not established
OTHER INGREDIENTS Glycerin, Raw Apple Cider Vinegar, Distilled Water, Sunflower Lecithin.
Glycerin
Vegetable glycerin. The base everything else sits in, the reason there's no alcohol, and the only preservative in the formula. It's mildly sweet, which takes the edge off holding it under your tongue.
Turkey Tail
Whole fruiting bodies, foraged wild in Michigan and extracted on our farm.
Apple cider vinegar
A small amount, for flavor. It's the tart note, and it softens the taste.
Sunflower lecithin
The encapsulation aid. From sunflowers, not soy.
One serving is one milliliter. The one ounce bottle holds thirty servings and the two ounce holds sixty.
Purchase options
Most people don't take one mushroom once. They build a routine. Set it to arrive on a schedule so you never run out mid-routine. It's forget-proofing.
From people who take it
Love the Turkey Tail extract. I have way more energy and stamina all day long, and the taste is a pleasant surprise.
Traditional use
Turkey Tail grows on dead wood in forests almost everywhere, so a lot of people have met it. In China it is yunzhi, the cloud mushroom, a name often put down to its wavy, many-colored cap, and Chinese medicine has used it for at least two thousand years. In Japan it is kawaratake, the mushroom by the river. Native peoples in many places made necklaces and ornaments from it.
In China it was brewed as a tea, recorded as far back as the Ming dynasty, in the 1400s. Traditional Chinese medicine used it to strengthen the body and increase energy.
The old Taoists saw it growing at the foot of evergreen pines and believed it gathered yang from the tree, the bright side of things tied to vitality and strength, and passed it on to whoever took it. To them it was a mushroom of endurance. That's tradition, and much of it is legend, and we call it that. What brings people to it now is different. Immune support is why it goes into the morning drink today.
Safety
We grow mushrooms. We're not doctors, and this isn't medical advice. What follows is what the preparation is, who should ask someone qualified before starting, and how to start carefully. One serving a day. If anything feels wrong, stop.
In China it has been brewed as a tea as far back as the Ming dynasty. An extract concentrates it, so the sensible way in is one milliliter a day and nothing more until you know how it sits with you. If something feels off, simply stop taking it.
If you take a prescription medication of any kind, ask your doctor or your pharmacist before you start.
If you're pregnant or nursing, ask your doctor before taking any mushroom extract, this one included.
If you have a mushroom allergy, do not take this. It's a mushroom extract, and there's no version of it without the mushroom.
Turkey Tail is one of the two mushrooms people reach for with pets, along with Reishi.
Good questions
In China it has been brewed as a tea as far back as the Ming dynasty. This is a concentrated preparation of it. Start at one milliliter a day and stay there until you know how it sits with you. If something feels off, simply stop taking it. If you have a mushroom allergy, don't take it at all. We're mushroom growers rather than doctors, and that's the limit of what we can tell you.
The safety section on this page is where we answer this properly, and it covers pregnancy and nursing too. An extract is more concentrated than a meal, which is the part worth knowing before you read it.
You may notice something early, or your first days may be quiet. Either is normal. Turkey Tail isn't really a feel-it thing. It's more about balance than a buzz. Give it at least four to six weeks at the same amount and the same point in your day before you decide. The what-to-expect section on this page walks through the first days, the first weeks and a month in.
It's one of the most researched mushrooms for immune support. It balances rather than overpowers, and it supports a healthy gut.
Sweet, with a tart edge from a little apple cider vinegar, and Turkey Tail brings dark, rich, foresty notes that pair very well with the slight darkness from the extract's formulation. Taste is the reason we stopped using alcohol.
A powder is milled mushroom material, and in a lot of products most of what you're buying is the grain the mycelium was grown on. This is whole fruiting bodies that have been extracted, so what the mushroom holds ends up in the liquid instead of staying in the milled material. You take a milliliter rather than a scoop.
No. Turkey Tail goes straight into a drink. Stir a milliliter into a glass of water or any drink you like. Under your tongue works too, if you'd rather.
Yes, and a lot of people do. Turkey Tail and Lion's Mane both go in the morning, and Reishi goes at night. The Athletic Shroom Stack carries all three, and Trifecta is the three-in-one bottle: Turkey Tail, Chaga and Reishi.
Turkey Tail is one of the two mushrooms people reach for with pets, along with Reishi.
The Turkey Tail in this bottle is foraged wild in Michigan by our partner, and we extract it here in New Smyrna, Florida. Every extract we make is from wildcrafted North American mushrooms.
