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.

★★★★★
“I can immediately feel the results of taking Turkey Tail. I feel stronger, gently and powerfully energized and supported (not like caffeine which makes one jittery). I don't get sick anymore and feel like my immune system and adrenals are balancing, and if I skip a few days, my insomnia (an issue of many years) starts to return.”†

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.

Andrea K. I give this to my dog daily with her food. She has allergies and inflammation. Her dry spots on her coat have disappeared and her coat is super soft! Even my dog walker commented on how soft her fur felt. The only difference in her diet etc was the mushroom powder!

JCB Using the extracts makes it easy to get consistent doses. Products are as specified and worth it. Will definitely purchase again.

Cecilia I have a dog who is elderly and has heart failure and has a big mass on her arm. I researched mushroom holistic options and this brand has been my absolute favorite. She is 15 and a half going strong and I honestly believe it's because of this mushroom company that she is still going strong. Before the mushrooms I took her to the vet and I was afraid her life was at the end. My old girl deserves the very best.

Sam P. I trust this company for myself and my best pal Hunter the lab.

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.
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.Turkey Tail mushrooms have a long history of use in traditional wellness practices in Japan and China, where they have been valued for their unique composition*. Turkey Tail mushrooms have traditionally been used in wellness practices for their naturally occurring polysaccharides, which are studied for their potential role in digestive and immune function*.
Turkey Tail mushrooms contains one of the highest amounts of beta-glucans of all mushrooms, which, when used over an extended period, may help keep our immune systems healthy.
One of the standout features of our organic Turkey Tail extract is its high concentration of beta-glucans. These compounds have been widely studied for their support of the immune system, helping it function optimally.
Regular use of our Turkey Tail mushroom extract powder as a dietary supplement can contribute to a healthier, more resilient immune system. As a mushroom supplement, our Turkey Tail provides a natural way to help you maintain a balanced immune response and keep your body resilient.
Turkey tail mushrooms are packed with essential nutrients and compounds that can support a balanced digestive system and gastrointestinal health. For example, one of the compounds in Turkey Tail mushroom has a prebiotic-like effect on the gut microbiome. By incorporating our mushroom powder into your diet, you may experience improved gut function and overall digestive well-being.
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.
