Questions on turkey tail uses, sustainable & safe harvesting
    #23275206 -

So I found this last season, in a coastal area that gets sandstorms and "rains" sea water. These are everywhere; almost on every other sedge bush.



I've been reading up on it. I found that some people dry it and mix it with two native herbs/flowers to smoke for health benefits, variations of teas, and some compounds help with cancer.

How do I go about harvesting it while ensuring it will grow back sustainably? Does it taste good? I'm worried a little because of the sea spray. Eating my azures and ps cyans from the area was like eating rock salt.

There's tons of it, and for a wide range, and none of the fauna are doing anything with it.

The specimens pictured are very healthy, right?

Thanks folks.

You sure those are Trametes versicolor?  They look kind of thick for turkey tails, but the picture could be deceiving.

Also, turkey tails can be found in great abundance in the woods, I would just get out and hike around the woods a bit, they're so prevalent that sustainable harvesting should be easy.  I used to make tea out of them, dry your collections, use damprid to get them cracker dry, powder in a blender and steep in hot water for an hour, or longer if you want, then add tea bags, lemon, sweeten to taste.  They're not overpowering like Reishi, and go down smooth.  I can't say much about dosage, I would just eyeball a large amount and throw em in a pot.

Some info on turkey tail ID'ing on Kuo's page.

I'm pretty positive someone ID'd them as such. The more traditional looking ones grow about a quarter mile away from these but are pretty nasty looking. And yeah the picture is deceiving; they're not beefy, pretty thin.

Check out this key for turkey tail: http://www.mushroomexpert.com/trametes_versicolor.html

I put my turkey tail in a coffee grinder and make a powder. Next I boil water, lower heat and add turkey tail and catnip as catnip has medicinal properties also and is in the mint family and tastes great. I let it steep for 10-15 minutes and enjoy.

Turkey tail tastes earthy, it doesn't taste bad or good really, but pair it with something with a good taste, and you are good to go.
