Some additional Turkey tail info:
Coriolus versicolor (Trametes versicolor; Turkey tail, Kawaratake, Yun-Zhi, 云芝
This mushroom and it isolates are some of the most studied of all medicinal mushrooms. In particular is the glucan-protein complex of Polysaccharide-K (Kresin, PSK, PSP) that is used in cancer therapy to counter-act the immune depressing action of common chemotherapy. Approved in 1980 by the Japanese equivalent to the FDA for concurrent use with chemotherapy, it is covered by all health care plans in Japan. Both the isolate and the mushroom have been shown to increase survival time of cancer patients. In large studies it has also been shown to be useful in stomach cancer, colorectal cancer, small cell carcinoma, and non-small cell lung carcinoma.
PSK has been shown to enhance activity of chemotherapeutic drugs doxorubin and etoposide. US cancer doctors have seen both PSK and whole mushroom extract to have promises for chemoprevention due to multiple effects on the malignant process and reducing side effect of oral dosage. These studies, published in Lancet, found the results to be significant. The sales for these unique all natural compounds have reached several hundred million dollars a year in Japan and China, making them the most widely used products in those countries by people facing serious immune challenges.
There has been great interest in Coriolus’ ability to work as an antiviral including HIV, HPV hepatitis and many other viruses.
Turkey has been studied by the biotech industry for its ability to digest many pesticides including PCP's and to detoxify dangerous Hydro Carbons.

cried watching this. Love your appreciation, I will manifest a man in my life just like you! love love love it!
lol. i manifested 2 men like this. Actually better :) . thing is i already know my herbalism so they drive me a bit mad with the mistakes they make. they rarely warn of the down sides either which is important. did this chap tell you what time of year this was ??
This cured my dog's cancer. She had Hemangiosarcoma in her spleen. She lived 5 more years after using Turkey Tail.
Where can I buy it?
😮😮😮❤️❤️
Please listen to his words again. "I appreciate all that you offer, appreciate your medicine, and my intention Is to share you with people who could really use some of your help. I hope that as this process happens, your consciousness, your spirit, is upgrading and evolving, and supporting so many other people’s spirits who are out of balance, in need, or just want to increase their vibrancy, to be better human beings." Wonderful!!!
Dude, I am Enrolled Eastern Shoshone of the Wind River Reservation in Wyoming and you sir... are awesome! Keep up your great work
Thank you for showing the proper way to interact with the forest . Niawen Kowa
The tree will be turned into mush by now
Thereis much wisdom that Native Americans that we-are losing out on.
Bahaha Bahaha!!!!!!!!
Gratitude is the proper attitude. There are many allies patiently waiting to to be greeted and addressed with the proper respect so they can offer their support and assistance that they would like to offer. They are benevolent in nature but are bound by rules and traditions which have been formed through the millenia, just as we are. What must be done is to conduct oneself properly, like this man has done. It is the key in the lock. Bless you my friend.
I just thank God directly.....then enjoy.
I am so impressed with your "prayer" or conversation with the turkey tail after harvesting it. I was in tears. Very beautiful. Thank you.
Probably one of the best TT vids i’ve seen. I really appreciate that you thanked the tree and TT and gave it an offering. We need more people like you in this world. Liked and subscribed. Awesome stuff
I am a shroom lover so I was geeking out the whole time. That has got to be the most beautiful patch of Turkey tail I've ever seen!
Also your hat is classy.
And I appreciate how you connect with spirit and seek to establish reciprocity with nature.
Thank you so much!
Dude, you don't know it, but were actually best friends. As of now.
Same:)

@K O selling his mushrooms? Harmonic Arts is his company :)
My guides showed me turkey tail last night, today I’m researching and in such a state of gratitude for their care and compassion for showing me this incredible medicine!! My brother and I have autoimmune disease...My bother is incredibly ill right now...hopefully he will be open to taking it! So happy to have found this resource that is so inline with how to work with Natures medicine! Lots of love and gratitude to you for making this beautiful inspiring video! 🥰🍄🌿🌈🌻✨
Very nice,,,,,,,,tt
Hey Joleah! Beautiful name btw! A big hello from Cornwall, England!
My family and I foraged an abundance of gorgeous Turkey Tail from a beautiful dead fall tree in Tehidy Country Park yesterday evening.
Both my wife (49) and daughter (25) suffer with autoimmune disease, so it is my deepest desire to bring them both some natural love and healing from these incredible mushrooms.
Just hoped you would be so kind to give an update on yours and your brother's experience with Turkey Tail? Sending love, light, and positivity to you and yours. 😇🍄🤍
Hi there! What a gift to find an abundance of this medicine! My brother has chosen to follow his doctors instructions...to be honest I never tried to push anything on him, it’s such a delicate thing... I know if he wants to find alternative treatments he will start his journey towards that and I may or may not be a person he goes to for that! I feel the best I can do is Love him for who he is and put no pressure on him. As for me, i have made 50/50 tincture that I take once in a while when I feel compelled to. My journey with autoimmune disease has been a lot about healing on all levels, once I started that part I have felt increasingly lighter and more able to deal with ebbs and flows of physical health! Peace!☮️✨
God bless you I hope you've had some really good luck with this
In Lak’ech Ala K’in brother! That was the most respectful pick ever. Thanks for sharing.
I just thank the lord when I find/harvest Turkey tail. Any ways love your ways my man keep up the great knowledge you bring to us my friend. Peace
What a beautiful soul you are! So much respect for not only your knowledge but your understanding of gratitude 🕉❤️
Indeed!
What a great presentation of Turkey Tail.I did read somewhere that the native American Indian always give back to Mother nature what you take from her.Praying to her was important. Keep teaching us,with love to our souls thank you
Sat watching this whilst drinking a tea of turket tail, birch polypore and manuka honey. Great video. 👍🏻
This nearly made my cry when you were talking about the medicine and giving an offering to the abundance of nature. I just found some turkey tail growing on logs I had saved from my back yard.
What about giving an offering to THE ONE THAT MADE THE PLANT!?
Just came across your video ...wow how inspiring...I have put my dog onto turkey tail as she had a haemangiosarcoma removed from spleen. I now will start growing and foraging. Bless you and thank you deeply for what you stand for in nature. Love from Penny in Cape Town South Africa.
Me too! It cured my dog's cancer and she lived 5 more years!
I love that you showed gratitude, beautiful! This was quite informative for sure for sure lol. THANK YOU
Great Video on Turkey Tails; Articulate and passionate. I like how you showed respect with the gift, shared your intention and voiced gratitude to the mushroom.
Me TOO💗💗💗
May God Bless you. I feel your love of nature. Thank u Herbal Jedi
Amazing, I could use some of this RIGHT NOW! Unfortunately no captions, glad I'm not totally deaf..yet. And you talk slow and clear so I think I got most of It. I wish my back wasn't so screwed up so I could go foraging for this. There's many things you've talked about I wish I could go looking for. The past few years haven't been to kind to me. The best thing that's happened to me lately is finding you! Thank You for sharing your knowledge!
Same. I'm only hoh in one ear & my ADHD auditory processing issues only really act up when there is a lot of background noise or unclear speech. This was a well-spoken video
@domg.1011
I sort of have the same hearing problem. My ent doctor told me that hearing aids won't really help me. He said it's like my fine tuning is messed up. If they talk too fast or if there's background noise or if there's more than 1 person talking my ears can't decipher it. I need a cochlear implant but they won't do that until I've tried hearing aids which are rather expensive, especially if they're not going to work. My insurance will pay for the implants but not hearing aids..?
@@seasonofthewitch4209 that's stupid af. Even in Canada with free healthcare, it's the same, healthcare isn't free
If i came across this tree,my life would be complete.... absolutely beautiful medicinal sight
I so desperately wish you had shown how to make the remedy. Having said that, you are my go-to You Tube channel. love love love your presence and message.
Cut up as small as possible and if can give it a blitz in a herb grinder or cleaned coffee grinder. Simmer in filtered water for 5-6 hours. Squeeze out excess water and retain, place solids in a glass jar and combine with at least double the volume of good quality 50% alcohol vodka. Shake daily for a few weeks up to a month or so (the finer the solids the shorter the time). Filter out alcohol extraction and combine with water extraction.
@@HawaiiLimey Can you get a lot of benefits from simmering for a couple hrs without the alcohol extraction? /// #2 What if after you simmer the pieces for a couple hrs and dry out the simmered pieces and then place in a coffee grinder until a powder and use it for a tea? // #3 can you over dose by drinking too much? :o) /// #4 I have heart disease. Emphysema and kidney disease. I'm 76 which means most Dr's could care less unless I'm rich! Thanks for your consideration HawaiiLimey :o)
@@chuckkady7282 yes you could do all of the above but the extraction process is to draw as many beneficial compounds out of the mushroom as possible. Turkey tail will help with your conditions but if you would like better health you need to change/modify your diet.
Your conditions are all related to very weak epithelial and endothelial cells. These line your external passageways (sinuses, lungs, mouth to anus) and the lining of the vascular system. To improve their integrity you need to eat foods high in phosphatydlcholine. Salmon roe tops the list followed by wild salmon, sardines (with skin and bones), beef tallow, bone broth, organic grass fed beef liver, farm eggs from chickens that scratch for bugs. Ideally cut out all vegetable oils and instead use olive oil, avocado oil, coconut oil and grassfed butter (you ideally want to an omega 6 to 3 ratio of 3:1 or better i.e. 2:1, 1:1). You need to reduce inflammation in your body this means cutting out sugar, alcohol, smoking, processed foods and possibly grains. Ideally you should be eating home cooked whole foods with lots of organic vegetables. Minimise carbs in the evening and don't eat less than 3 hours before bed. Eating within a narrow time window 8 - 12 hours has a multitude of benefits to improve health (known as intermittent fasting). Also do not snack between meals as this increases inflammation. Given your age you probably have weak stomach acid so supplementing with betaine HCL with pepsin (start low and increase until you feel good) will help with digestion. Also taking digestive enzymes amylase, protease and lipase will help break down fats and proteins to aid in absorption. Ubiquinol and PQQ are very good for heart disease and massively improve antioxidants as well as energy. Berberine helps tone your arteries. You need to make sure that you're still exercising even if it's just a daily walk or an exercise class at the local swimming pool a few times a week. A K2 mk7 with D3 supplement can help reduce arterial blockages and improve bone density. There are many natural plants that have many similar benefits to what I have listed but to aid the liver and kidneys consider stinging nettles/root and dandelion/root, these can be harvested from the wild as long as they're away from traffic or potentially dog pee, chop them up and infuse for a tea.
Doctors on CZcams to follow are Dr. Berg and Dr. Ford Brewer.
The biggest impact you can make is usually what you are cutting out which is leading to the inflammation. Enemy No.1 is sugar in all its forms, artificial sugars still elicit an insulin response so trigger inflammation and clog up the liver. The one exception is stevia which is not harmful.
Hope this helps, Aloha.
@@HawaiiLimey Wow! ;o) Thanks from the bottom of my heart disease (thumbs up) Could I interest U in becoming Pen/Pals I live Rural in Florida. I have lots of swamps an woods to forage in as well as down town there's a health food store that is Good (I Guess) /// Drs here are not like you see on TV or anything like Dr Bergman (he's Clear and explains in layman's language) Drs here give me the round robin, meaning Send me to this or that specialist. More and more Co-Pays for 15 minutes of B/S. That's why I'm on CZcams seeking alternative meds. /// I'm 76 Have had Heart Disease, GERDS, Emphysema for the past 21 years. I don't smoke or drink. I have stopped eating sugar products other then natural fruits. I eat mostly white meat and veggies. // I'm very interested in foraging // Chuck
chucksplace281@gmail.com
@@chuckkady7282 for sure, I mainly grow a few medicinals in my garden and make a few extracts from herbs that you can buy online. GERDS can be caused H.Pylori and potentially other pathogenic bacteria. Bacteria modify their terrain in order to gain more favourable conditions to multiply. In the case of H.Pylori the bacteria lower the stomach's acidity to reduce digestion of the food in order that they can colonize it. The stomach then increases acid production to try and counter it. I have had success using black seed oil which is known to combat H.Pylori. I can help you out with what I know but I'm by no means an expert. My email is philhensondesign@hotmail.com
Hey man, don't listen to the haters. I'm christian & I'm also aboriginal, I don't think what you're doing is sacrilegious nor cultural appropriation (well maybe, but it's also nice). You don't need to listen to them. I think it was Very Good that you included that gratitude. People need to know that. (Though, as a hard of hearing person, they are right about the music.) You are out here living your best life & I am happy to watch your videos. If they don't like your videos, they don't need to watch. Stay true to yourself & stay loving!
the offering of tobacco and the appreciation was really sweet
I love that you give back to the turkey tail. Thank you for your offerings
I love how easily & effortlessly you explain that vast amount of information. Love your videos. Very informative & the way you treat plants comes through beautifully. The respect & love. It's a great way to share information & show people that it's not all about take, take take. So for this I'm very grateful to you ♥
I'm here because I needed guidance with how to harvest it mainly. Your video was the very first I found on the subject. I knew I was in the right place :)Turkey Tail is my new friend who's been around me in the last couple of years, trying to draw attention to itself. I heard the "message", but I didn't do much... the lazy one, you know... I work with herbs, but don't have experience with mushrooms at all. I found it very intriguing to try to get to know this beautiful creature, & I even said it to someone not too long ago, that I have to try growing it this year. I don't know a place where it grows around. But last year somehow it's got out of sight. No one mentioned it & I didn't bump into any articles that wrote about it really. Not like the year before when it was coming into my face everywhere. And this year again, it started appearing to me here & there. And what's happened today??! There is an old, hollow tree trunk at the edge of the house. Cut out completely, no roots. Sometimes I use it as a container for plants in season. I just love it. But it hasn't been in my sight for a while. So I couldn't believe what I saw growing on it! Lots of beautiful, healthy Turkey tail! ♥ I went to identify it just to make sure that that's the right thing. I could dance from the happiness that it was! :D I just feel so grateful. Lately I was doing a liver detox. Maybe that's why it has shown up for me now so obviously. So this story shows us that Spirit, plants, our True selves or whatever you feel comfortable to call it, does communicate with us, & guides us in every minute. It was trying to draw attention to itself, I didn't listen enough. It's got forgotten & has come back to me. In the end it actually literally appeared at my doorstep! This IS true magic🌟 Thank you for BEing the part of it ♥ Blessings on your way ♥
I am finding beautiful clusters of Turkey Tail this spring ! Dehydrated - now I know to make a tincture. Love and Health !
I'm cultivating these on alder logs. First time doing it. Inoculated 2 years ago and the first flush is just coming on. I'm excited to work with this energy. Thank you for your wisdom 🙏🏻 considering harvesting t he first little bunch soon. Namaste and blessings
I just recently came across your channel and I’m so glad I did. Please, keep up the good work and keep doing what you do. Your an inspiration and a joy to watch. I one day hope to have half or even just a 1/4 of the knowledge you possess.
Be blessed, beatiful soul, your contribution to the world is a the gift you share with great wisdom and respect for nature, I was touched to tears when you honored the tree and made the offering. Infinite gratitude!
Wow I LOVED how you made the offering, honored the spirit and matter, and stated your intention. Beautiful, felt, genuine.
I was at the hospital yesterday and a random man sat beside me and started talking about turkey tail. Now, I am doing some research. 😊
Either an angel or an anti-science whacko. Either way, fungi do have compounds that are medicinal
I love how you talk to the plants. We do that as well and we thank the plants..like you!
Need this lol. Seriously. Just finished bi-weekly, then weekly chemo and then daily radiation. I’ve got Lipus/MCTD etc too and this sounds like just the thing. Besides living in a forest of course.🤗🇨🇦
A Remedy Project Good luck Honey! Hope you are healing well. Think about starting Lion’s Mane now. Chemo Brain is real. Fellow Survivor here. 🤗🌸💕🌸
How are you feeling 11 months later?
My father had liver and colon cancer when I was secondary student. His friend recommended him to try Turkey Tail Mushroom (vitx grexn). He got much better after taking it. He felt more energy and enjoyed eating after chemotherapy.
Good luck!!

Any updates?
Hi Yarrow, hope you are well brother. This was a fascinating, informative and as always inspirational video, so thankyou very much. Keep on keepin' ohm- love, truth and peace from England.
I love how the "attitude" of the tree changed after your expression of gratitude. Your videos are incredible - thank you for sharing your wisdom and experience.
The attitude of the tree changed did it?
Less mushrooms for you.
I had a gooseberry plant that was weak and feeble and would give 1 berry every year for 8 years I started to appreciate it send good energy mentally and talk to it positively, after 1 year of care it is strong beautiful and has dozens of berries starting already! I’m a skeptic mostly but no longer when it comes to plants understanding good intentions and thankfulness!
How beautiful 💗💗💗
I love how u respect n speak to the plant spirit to take and make the medicine 💝💫 🌱 your a beautiful soul
Your kind & gentle nature brings me solace! Keep up the good work, kudos brother!
As an FNMI person, I could be offended or suspicious, but I actually love how you respect the plant & fungus medicine with Smudge. Normally I wouldn't burn smudge or tobacco for a plant, my smudge is usually sage where I live, & we crumple up tobacco at the base of the plant, but whatever indigenous person you learned this from, I'd say trust them more than me because they are actually present & my nation is probably different. I think it's great that you are respecting the world in a way that is (at least similar to the practices that are) familiar to the land you live on.
Great video! I’d like to see instructions on making teas, tinctures, and various other extractions in the future videos. I love this channel!
Your love for the gifts of the earth is so obvious and abundant. Thanks.
Wow im impressed not by the research and evidence of its healing, but of your intention and connection with your words and passion for the medicine. That gratefulness and devotion along with the tobacco offering is highly commendable! More power and respect you Jedi of the Herbs
Simply beautiful ... Thank you for sharing your light
That is a huge find!
This has made me very emotional, your thoughtfulness and kindness. Thank you very much for sharing.
Miigwetch! Thank you for this wonderful video. I am even more great full to see how you give thanks to the tree! Onen! Mr. Jedi!
Thanks Yarrow you delivered again, great informative vids
I love all your videos 💗 you not only teach so much helpful facts about all plants ,herbs, weeds, natural medicine ( that I love so much )..but what makes me love your videos more it's the respect that you have and show for all forms of life.. the bonding with mother nature is so important and to be grateful 🙏💗 you are a beautiful soul 🙏
Yarrow is so enthusiastic and thurogh with his explanation. A model of what we can all hope to be.
Words fail me, all I can think of is BEAUTIFULL !!!
Your gratitude and reciprocity is a healing balm for this world...much gratitude 🙏
Absolutely beautiful! Thank you!
When he started “praying” to the mushroom I thought to myself “wow that’s really awkward” and then I thought for a few more seconds to myself and realized that there are full grown adults that pray to someone they have never even met. At least he is worshiping something that he can touch, consume and truly benefit from.
Happy shrooming!
Yaaay!!! I'm not alone after all! Thank you for this beautiful and well-worded comment.
I think he's running on ol'LSD..
Thanks for your comment.
Happy this video conjured up some feeling, even if they were awkward ones.
Hopefully you got some other good stuff from this turkeytail share too.
Act your age unless you're really 12
Who created the tree and mushroom?
Fantastic, educational video. Miigwech for your offering of sema to the tree and the bounty of turkey tail it has provided. That was very great of you to do that; so many people don't give thanks to the natural world around us. Very refreshing.
Beautiful mindset and choice of words in conveying your inner self outwardly to whom of which as a equal thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing this knowledge, and teaching respect and gratitude to the plant! Sure love your videos Yarrow!
thanks for this vid man. please do more of this, absolutely amazing
Love this guys energy
What a perfectly done video. Chill, beautiful and super informative, THANK YOU SO MUCH for your essential work.
You are the best and most generously genuine person on CZcams. I thank you brother
Never stop what you are doing, you've inspired me and I'm sure many others to be more in tune with the natural world around us. Bless.
Amazing video, thank you Yarrow.
What a amazing kind spirit ❤👏🏽 please continue to enlighten people on the magic of all mushrooms🙏🏼
Thank you for not only sharing your valuable knowledge with others, but also for doing it in such a harmonic and inspiring way. I'm new to your channel -this video was just one of several on Trametes versicolor I happened to rack up in a playlist today- but I immediately appreciated your style. I'm grateful for my consciousness having crossed paths with yours. You're doing such an important job and, even better, coming at it from the right angle.
All units of consciousness have their place and value in the cosmos. We, as a species, seem to have forgotten that. We, the fraction of our species that have not, owe it to the rest to invite them to remember and rediscover through acts of kindness, love and respect.
To whoever made it this far: you're awesome and I wish you all the best!
Fantastic .
It would be cool if the video included detailed information on the reproductive process of the mushroom. Ive been studying mushrooms and since including the specific reproductive process of a mushroom of interest, my understanding of how to harvest responsibly and the appreciation of it's dance of life has deepened and really blossomed. It is truly essential information that, oddly, mushroom foragers completely ignore.
Beautiful Yarrow! Love the reciprocity.
Thanks for your work on this topic Mr herbal Jedi, cheers from Chile!!
Thank you for your wonderful work and wisdom!
I really like your work, and the way you go at it. Thanks!
Animism FTW! Keep rockin' it, Yarrow!
Thank you this is awesome - More videos like this, please!
