Lab 5 Journal Entry

The Trametes Versicolor, also known as the Turkey-Tail, is a common polypore mushroom in North America that grows on logs or stumps all year round. It is a basidiomycete saprobe, meaning that it survives by eating decomposing dead or decaying organic matter.

Medicinally, there has been research done on the immunomodulatory properties of T. Versicolor in therapies of cancers and neurodegenerative disorders thanks to the groups of biologically active compounds in the fungi and their synergistic effects.

The mushroom has abundant antioxidants, contains immune-boosting Polysaccharopeptides like Krestin, and can even enhance gut health. Most importantly, there is potential for it to help the immune systems and the efficacy of treatments for people with cancer.
