Turkey tail mushroom: a very medicinal one.

in #nature5 years ago (edited)

This mushroom is anticancer. Farmaceutical industries use it to produce a substance called krestin, a very potent inhibitor of lung cáncer.

It is very common. this one was found it in my neighbor´s fence.

It can be recognized by its concentric color bands, also it has no gills (as the button mushroom), insted it is porous like a sponge, then it belongs to a group of mushrooms called Polypores.

ahh, it is found around the world, even in urban places.

have you ever seen a turkey tail?
