About Turkey Tail

Turkey tail is thin and leathery, so it is dried and extracted rather than cooked. We supply whole dried brackets priced per kg online, and powder and extracts quoted to your beta-glucan specification.

Wild-collected and cultivated sources are both available; please say which your label requires.
