Medicinal plants are essential in a garden and have many advantages for both us and our vegetables. In addition, they are very easy to grow and very resistant to both diseases and pests.

Today I want to talk about a mushroom that is not exactly a medicinal plant, since as you know, fungi are a different kingdom from plants. The mushroom is, let's say, something like the flower of the mycelium that is underground.
But mushrooms can also have medicinal effects and have been used for millennia by our ancestors.
The turkey tail or scientifically speaking Trametes versicolor is a fairly common mushroom that grows on the trunks of dead trees. Normally on large trunks, since the mycelium needs space to fully develop.
Its medicinal properties are mainly on the immune system, although it also acts as a bactericide. A curiosity about this mushroom is that some of its compounds are used for cancer treatments.
Thank you very much for supporting my blog and I look forward to your comments.!
