Etymology
Trametes comes from the prefix ‘tram’ meaning ‘thin’ and ‘etes’ meaning ‘one who is’. Versicolor means ‘of several colours’.
Folklore
Turkey Tail, also known as Coriolus versicolor, has long been treasured in China (where it was recorded in the ‘Compendium of Chinese Materia Medica’ by Li Shi Zhen during the Ming Dynasty) for its extensive health benefits and ability to bring longevity if consumed regularly.
Origin
Native to Europe, Asia, and North America, our Turkey Tail tincture includes wild specimens found by foragers in the South West.
Bristol Fungarium promises:
100% Organic Certified
The only UK-grown organic certified Turkey Tail Mushroom Tincture. All our mushrooms are grown on an organic mushroom farm in the green county of Somerset UK, and are certified by the Soil Association. Our organic functional mushroom tinctures are triple extracted with distilled water and organic UK ethanol, on the very same farm the mushrooms are grown on.
Native & Wild UK Turkey Tail
Our Turkey Tail is a mix of wild foraged Turkey Tail and organic certified fruiting-body from our farm that was cloned from a species growing in Bourton Combe in Somerset. As much as possible we utilise native strains, not only to help us get closer once again to the medicine of this land – where so much of the knowledge has been lost – but most importantly to have as little effect as possible on local biodiversity and ultimately tread as lightly as possible on the earth. By prioritising native strains we are avoiding the spread of billions of spores that come from commercial mushroom strains that have been selected specifically for their ability to grow fast and fruit heavily, and will therefore easily out compete a lot of the native strains we have growing around the farm.
Triple Extracted, 1: 4 Ratio (Super Strength)
We carry out two hot water extractions and a final organic ethanol extraction to give you access to all the bioactive compounds that are responsible for Turkey Tail’s beneficial properties. Many capsules and supplements are shipped across the world in powder form as it is a more commercially viable way of transporting extracted products, however, our tinctures are prepared on-site at a 1:4 ratio (1g of mushrooms to every 4ml of water). Tinctures have a longer shelf life than capsules, provide a faster absorption rate, enable flexible dosage, and are easy to prepare by simply taking one squeeze of mushroom tincture twice per day either directly under the tongue or into a short glass of water.
Fully Transparent & Short Supply Chain
Each bottle of our organic Turkey Tail tincture contains 128g of Turkey Tail fruiting body*. Our Turkey Tail is grown on and around our organic mushroom farm, where we also prepare the tinctures and pack the orders – meaning origin can be traced back to one location with absolutely no tampering by third parties. Because our supply chain is so much shorter, and we prepare our tincture in comparatively small batches, you can be sure that the extracts you buy from us haven’t lost bioactive compounds due to sitting around for a long time or being shipped halfway across the world. *fresh value
