Real Ingredients
Balanced Immune Response†
Turkey Tail mushrooms are renowned for their naturally high levels of beta-glucans, polysaccharides that can help balance your body's natural immune response.† Our extract is optimized to contain more than 30% beta-glucans, ensuring consistent, effective support in every serving.
We use 100% hot water-extracted turkey tail mushrooms to unlock the true full spectrum of beneficial compounds.
Real Mushrooms, Not Filler
Most mushroom supplements fail because they’re made without mushrooms: they use mycelium fermented grain. Those products have few beneficial fungal compounds—they’re mostly starch.
We use 100% hot water-extracted mushrooms (fruiting body) to unlock the true full spectrum of beneficial compounds.
Highest-Quality, Organic Ingredients
We partner with experienced mushroom growers using Di Dao 地道 (spiritual homeland) cultivation practices to harvest mushrooms in their geo-authentic environments. Our mushroom Turkey Tail extract contains only the real mushroom, grown, extracted, and tested with integrity.

Real Quality
Why Beta-Glucans Matter
Beta-glucans are the primary active compounds in Turkey Tail mushrooms that support immune function.* Most mushroom products don’t list beta-glucan content, but we do.
Beta-Glucans indicate an authentic mushroom product versus myceliated grain products that contain high levels of starch (Alpha-Glucans) instead.
Real Mushrooms offer potency you can trust, in every capsule.
We use only 100% mushroom (fruiting body)—no grain, no mycelium, no fillers.
This product has received the Purity-IQ™ Authenticity Certification Program - a cutting-edge nuclear magnetic resonance technique that confirms we use the correct mushroom species and nothing else.

| Extraction Method | Hot water extracted or dual extracted for potency & optimal absorption | Improperly extracted or simply dried and ground |
| Filler-Free Guarantee | No starch, no fillers, no mycelium fermented grain | Commonly contains grain (rice, oats or sorghum), starch and/or maltodextrin |

Frequently Asked Questions
All our mushroom extracts are from the leading supplier of organic mushroom extracts: Nammex. They have over 40 years of mushroom growing experience and were one of the first companies to bring organic functional mushroom extracts to North America.
Their ingredients go through rigorous quality control and are tested twice for heavy metals, agricultural chemicals and microbial contamination to ensure they meet all standards for dietary supplements of this nature. All of their extracts are made from certified organic mushrooms (fruiting bodies), organically grown or wildcrafted from deep within mountain regions of China.
Mushrooms used for dietary supplements are seldom grown in North America since they are too expensive. China is the leading supplier of mushrooms worldwide and supplies over 90% of the world’s mushrooms.
It has a rich history of mushroom use as both food and medicine and is the birthplace of mushroom cultivation, with shiitake being farmed in the early 1200s. China is one of the only places in the world where you can get 100% organic mushroom (fruiting body) extracts that can be sold at an affordable price.
The products are identical. The only difference is how you want to consume them.
2 capsules is equivalent to roughly a 1/2 tsp of the mushroom powders.
In terms of potency and efficacy, both the capsules and powders are equally effective at delivering.
The capsules are great for travel, whereas the powder can be added to recipes or mixed in coffee, tea or bone broth.
Natural ingredients don’t always flow smoothly through processing equipment, and capsule manufacturers need to utilize other ingredients to fill capsules. It is common practice for encapsulation facilities to require the use of other ingredients.
We have worked closely with our encapsulation partners to ensure that only what is added is necessary to create the Turkey Tail mushroom capsules.
It is extremely important to distinguish the difference between mushrooms and mycelium.
Mushrooms are the "fruit" and reproductive stage of these organisms, while the mycelium is the root system or "body" of the fungus.
Mushrooms contain much higher levels of active compounds like beta-glucans, and there is a large body of research on them. They have also been consumed for thousands of years as food, and many health benefits have been shown from just mushroom consumption.
Mycelium is commonly grown on a grain substrate, and this grain cannot be separated from the mycelium, so much of the final product is actually grain with no mushrooms present. This shows up in high amounts of starch and low amounts of active compounds like beta-glucans.
For these reasons, Real Mushrooms® only utilizes mushrooms in all of its products, with verified levels of important active compounds like beta-glucans, and is always guarded against starchy fillers like grain.
In TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine), turkey tail mushrooms have been used to support digestion, lung health, body fluid regulation, and vitality. In Japan and China, a derivative of turkey tail has been used to strengthen the immune system. Turkey Tail is prized for its digestive and gastrointestinal health properties and balanced immune response support.
Turkey Tail mushroom capsules contain one of the highest amounts of beta-glucans of all mushrooms, which, when used over an extended period of time, may help keep our immune systems healthy.
Protein-bound polysaccharides (PBP) found in Turkey Tail mushroom extracts have the most research-backed immune-supportive effects. When used alone or in combination with synergistic herbs, these PBP compounds may enhance key types of immune cells, like T-cells.
