TURKEY TAIL MYCO HONEY PEARLS (150g)

Turkey Tail is often referred to as 'Yun Zhi' in China, which translates to 'Cloud Mushroom' and 'Kawaratake' in Japanese which translates to 'Roof Tile Mushroom.'

In the realm of Mycotherapy, Turkey Tail emerges as a formidable ally, renowned for its diverse health-supporting properties. Recognised for its Qi and Spleen, Lung, and Liver supporting qualities, Turkey Tail stands as a revered mushroom in traditional practices. Across different cultures, its applications vary - in Mexico and Asia, Turkey Tail has been traditionally utilised for addressing skin fungal infections and related disorders, while indigenous Australians have historically employed it to combat infections.

The global prevalence of Turkey Tail is no coincidence; it thrives on nearly every continent, showcasing its universal medicinal significance for humanity. This prolific mushroom, with its distinctive striated appearance, graces temperate forests worldwide, making it a readily accessible natural treasure. It is literally everywhere. Its immunological prowess is not just a folkloric belief; numerous human studies underscore its potential in contemporary disease prevention and as a supportive element for the immune system during medical interventions.

Exploring your local surroundings, whether it be your backyard or a nearby nature reserve, (we've found it growing at OMG Mushrooms home property in South-West Western Australia) may unveil the presence of Turkey Tail, a testament to its widespread existence. The undeniable immunological strength gained from incorporating Turkey Tail into one's wellness routine reflects its role as a profound healer in the expansive world of medicinal mushrooms.

What is SCWE extraction?

SCWE (Subcritical Water Extraction) uses pressurised hot water instead of alcohol or chemical solvents to extract both water-soluble and fat-soluble compounds from the whole mushroom, resulting in a more complete and bioavailable extract.

Do you use fruiting body or mycelium?

We use 100% fruiting body mushrooms. Fruiting bodies contain the highest naturally occurring levels of beta-glucans and key functional compounds compared to grain-grown mycelium products.

HONEY - Raw Western Australia honey boasts a rich array of medicinal benefits, making it a prized addition to our Myco-Honey Pearls. Honey is known for its natural antibacterial properties which help combat infections and promote wound healing, while its anti-inflammatory effects soothe sore throats and alleviate coughs. But many are unaware that Raw Honey is packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, that supports immune function and aids in digestive health by promoting beneficial gut bacteria. Its gentle energy boost, coupled with its ability to soothe allergies, makes it a versatile remedy for various ailments. Additionally, raw honey from Western Australia retains more of its natural enzymes and nutrients, enhancing its therapeutic potency and overall health benefits.

MUSHROOM POWDER / EXTRACTION - We import the highest quality (ONLY the whole fruiting body of mushrooms) and employ a Sub Critical Water Extraction method (SWE) in Australia, ensuring accurate identification and guaranteed quality. Our products are free from unnecessary additives, sugars, or carriers, offering extracted mushroom goodness (keeping the mushroom fibre) and then we carefully (and lovingly) combine it with honey.

MYCO-HONEY PEARLS-enhance the bioavailability of mushrooms by bypassing the stomach, avoiding digestion by stomach acids. This unique method allows them to reach the small intestine directly, where they cross intestinal walls and enter the bloodstream, dispersing their benefits throughout the body systematically. This time-tested administration approach, rooted in millennia-old Chinese medicine practices, has demonstrated superior efficacy in treating chronic conditions targeted by mushrooms.
