Turkey Tail (Trametes versicolor) is a fascinating and widely distributed mushroom species found across North America, Europe, and Asia. It gets its name from the striking concentric rings on its fruiting body, which resemble the colourful tail feathers of a wild turkey.
Recognised for its distinctive fan-shaped caps and vibrant colour bands.
Grows naturally on dead or decaying hardwoods, playing a key role in forest decomposition.
Traditionally consumed as teas, tinctures, or capsules, and sometimes used in soups or broths.
Not typically eaten as a food due to its tough, leathery texture.
Studied for both medicinal potential and environmental benefits.
Frequently used in bioremediation projects to help break down organic waste and pollutants in soil and water.
Turkey Tail (Trametes versicolor)
Substrate: Supplemented hardwood sawdust or hardwood logs
Colonisation temperature: 24°C – 29°C (75°F – 84°F)
Pinning temperature: 10°C – 24°C (50°F – 75°F)
Pinning humidity: 95% – 100%
Fruiting temperature: 10°C – 24°C (50°F – 84°F)
Fruiting humidity: 85% – 90%
10ml liquid culture syringe containing live Turkey Tail mycelium
Sterile alcohol wipe for clean inoculation
18G sterile needle for injection into your chosen substrate or grow kit
Sealed zip-lock bag for secure packaging
All liquid cultures are freshly prepared to order in our sterile laboratory environment. We use a professional laminar flow hood to ensure every culture is clean, pure, and contamination-free.
Liquid culture is a nutrient-rich broth made with distilled water, light malt extract, dextrose, and honey.
This solution provides an ideal food source for mycelium growth.
Think of mycelium as the “seed” of the mushroom - it’s used to inoculate a substrate or grow kit to begin the cultivation process.
Every culture is tested on agar and grain to ensure strong, healthy, and contaminant-free growth.
For best results, use your Turkey Tail liquid culture as soon as possible after receiving it.
If you can’t use it immediately, store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 months to maintain maximum viability and freshness.
