Turkey Tail Mushroom Mycelium Supports Immune Activity

This article reviews research on Turkey Tail mushroom, a medicinal mushroom that has been traditionally used to support immune health. The focus of the article is on compounds found in both the mushroom and its mycelium, which appear to interact with the immune system in beneficial ways.

Turkey Tail contains natural compounds that help activate immune cells, including those involved in defending the body against infections and abnormal cells. Studies discussed in the article show that these compounds may help support the immune response by improving communication between immune cells and enhancing their activity.

The review also explains that Turkey Tail has been studied as a supportive therapy, particularly alongside conventional treatments, because of its potential to strengthen immune resilience without overstimulating the immune system. Much of the evidence comes from laboratory and animal studies, with some human research suggesting immune-supportive benefits.
