Gilled turkey tail is often found on dead logs nearby true turkey tail or false turkey tail.
They can be used the same way as true, turkey tail. They have a lot of immune activating, beta glucans, immune, activating, chitin, and good nutrition. All it takes is boiling it down in a pot or a pressure cooker, blending with the cooking water, and dehydrating to it a driveway for in a food dehydrator finally pottering that and storing in a jar for up to three years add a half teaspoon or a teaspoon to soups or other dishes for a nice mushroom flavor, immune support, and many other benefits.

True turkey tail and false turkey tail often grow together on dead logs in many parts of the world, in a forest near you even. Maybe even in your backyard, or in your fruit orchard. Based on their clinical trials and long history of use, they are likely the most valuable of all medicinal mushrooms.
Of all species of mushrooms, they contain the highest amount of immunomodulating, beta glucans, as well as prebiotic fiber that will help diversify your gut microflora, benefiting your mood, immunity, and cognition.
Either species works, both are non-toxic. But use true turkey tail over the false turkey tail because of its long history of use; still in a pinch you can use false turkey tail.
Check my book, medicinal mushrooms, the essential guide for more information. It’s fantastic to make a concentrated water-based powder for long-term storage to add too many types of dishes. Really the best kind of food medicine from the forest.

I recently northern California had a series of major, atmospheric rivers, one after another, where we were getting perhaps, 3 or 4 inches of rain per day.
Since I couldn’t stay out of the Woods, because mushrooms were popping up everywhere and I was speaking of various mushroom gatherings, I ended up getting a throat infection, and laryngitis.
After that, I guess you’re being with around so many people, I caught a cold too.
I was in pretty miserable shape until I really started hitting the garliq syrup, as well as Andro Graffis tablets and lots of elderberry juice.
I blended up the garlic, added one drop of mint toil and one drop of oregano oil, and then poured it into a narrow mouthed syrup jar , that makes it easy to sip. If you’re the only one using it and carry it with you you can also just added to a one or 2 ounce dropper bottle.
Over the years, I have been so impressed with the simple remedy that never fails to clear sinus infections, help with ear infections, sore throat, strep throat, and just general inflammation and pain in the throat and upper bronchial area.
I recommend having it on hand all winter.
