Origins + Ecology
Trametes versicolor, commonly called Turkey Tail, is a thin, fan-shaped fungus recognized by its concentric bands of brown, tan, grey and blue. It grows on fallen hardwood and contributes to woodland nutrient cycling by breaking down dead wood.
This batch was wild-foraged in the coastal forests of British Columbia and dried in small batches.
Preparation
Preparation
Turkey Tail has a naturally firm, woody texture and is best suited to long-simmered preparations rather than conventional sautéing or eating whole.
Rinse the dried pieces briefly before use. Simmer gently in water for 45–60 minutes, adding more water as needed. Strain carefully before serving and discard the mushroom pieces after preparation.
