Welcome to the Coriolus Versicolor website ( Trametes Versicolor, Polyporus Versicolor Common name: turkey tail). This website was set up as a database of information, facts, medical studies and resource material about the Coriolus Versicolor mushroom, it extracts and uses in the alternative and supplemental treatment of cancers, its effect on the immune system and any documented evidence of its immune system building properties. We will also explore its history, extraction processes and the differences in the sources including the availability of  the different extracts available on the market. These will include the PSP & PSK extracts and the best sources for each.

Coriolus Versicolor mushrooms are one of the most researched and respected of the medicinal mushrooms from Europe to China and Japan. This member of the polypore family has a long history of medicinal use in China and Japan, where it is known as Yun Zhi and Kawaratake, respectively.

Whilst widely accepted in the East, the immune system building and anti-cancer properties of Coriolus Versicolor are virtually unheard of in the West even though extensive medical research by established western institutions has confirmed what the Chinese have known for millenia.

We hope this website will help to spread awareness of Coriolus versicolor so that as many people as possible may benefit from its effects as a supplement to good health.

We hope you find the site interesting and informative.
