(Turkey Tail tea). I harvested some very nice Turkey Tail (Trametes Versicolor) yesterday for a nice cup of tea after dinner last night. I scissor slivered (say that 6 times rapidly) the harvest which made about 1/2 cup loose packed. Scissor slivers skillet simmered, humor me, say that 6 times rapidly as well. Most would use a sauce pan here but I find that the skillet heats up faster and for a single scissor sliver simmer (one cup) it just works well for me. I used two cups of water to simmer the slivers. I boiled gently until the water was reduced by about half leaving me a nice mug full of tea. I add a pinch of coarse ground black pepper for taste. (That's some skinless chicken thighs gettin' fried up in the skillet next door atop the old wood cook stove at Brooks). I strain my tea through a coffee filter. It's quicker than waiting for everything to settle then pouring off just the liquid. After straining I do put back just a tiny pinch of the coarse ground black pepper just because I like to. This may be one of the healthiest teas you can find. I continue to read, from VERY highly regarded herbalists AND doctors about the benefits coming to light from the use of this mushroom. Turkey Tail or Trametes Versicolor is one of the most common and most easily identified of all mushrooms (fungi). Early research even indicates some cancer fighting compounds are found in Turkey Tail.

Very interesting ,I have seen these and will give it a try if there are any there, Les, go online and watch a youtube video on how to positively ID the Trametes Versicolor. It's easily identified and is very common almost everywhere.
