![]() ![]() The extract is then dried into a powder with all the essential mushroom elements intact. The fruiting bodies need this double extraction to break down the cell walls of the chitin.Įxtraction pulls out the beta-glucans. Our mushrooms are both hot water and alcohol extracted. Mycelium lacks the high beta-glucan content found in the whole mushroom.Īfter harvest, our mushrooms are tested for heavy metals and pesticides, then double extracted for maximum quality and bioavailability.Īre your mushrooms water extracted or dried? Mushrooms are expensive to grow on their natural substrate, so most mushroom manufacturers, and many of our competitors, grow just the mycelium in bags of oats, rice, or other grains. This process ensures your dog receives the benefits of the whole fruiting body and not just the mycelium. We provide a third-party analysis with our mushrooms to show they're high in beta-glucans.įour Leaf Rover mushrooms are grown on wood. Beta-glucan is unique to mushrooms whereas polysaccharides and alpha-glucans are rich in the grains mycelium is grown in. Not the polysaccharide content, but the beta-glucan content. How do I know if I have a real mushroom product? For this reason, we recommend the combination of Immunity and Turkey Tail for more compromised immune systems. Turkey tail includes more immune supporting beta-glucans than any other mushroom. Turkey tail can survive during hot and cold temperatures. Most mushrooms grow only in the warmer seasons. Turkey tail is unique in that it can survive and thrive all year long. Turkey tail is a cloud mushroom found in many regions around the globe. It's 3rd party tested for a high beta-glucan content and for safety, so your dog gets the unique mushroom benefits he needs. You can feel good about giving your dog our Turkey Tail. anything with a lot of starch will be high in polysaccharides. And don't fall for a high polysaccharide content. If the product doesn't provide the beta-glucan content (or if it's low), you can be fairly certain the product is mycelium and not mushrooms. Simply look or ask for the beta-glucan content. So how can you tell the difference between real mushrooms and the other guy (mycelium)? The FDA doesn't allow mycelium products to say MUSHROOM on the package, but the market is saturated with these cheap mushroom alternatives. Natural mushrooms are low in starch, averaging about 4% carbohydrate. The mycelium is then ground up with the grains to make a high-starch product. To produce this product, mycelium is put in plastic bags filled with sorghum, oats or rice, then put in a locker to grow. In comparison, many "mushroom" products are mycelium, which is just the "roots" of the mushroom. But we don't do things the cheap and inexpensive way. But it's expensive and time consuming to grow mushrooms this way. It's important to note that most of the beta-glucan is found in the fruiting body of the mushroom. The whole mushroom is then double extracted and gently powdered, then tested for safety and a high beta-glucan content. Our mushrooms are grown in greenhouses on natural wood and substrates in filtered air. Consult your local arborist to see what options are available for your trees with turkey tail.Our double extraction process makes sure that the beneficial beta-glucans and triterpenoids in Turkey Tail are bioavailable and able to enhance immune function. Severely decaying trees may be recommended for removal. If turkey tail is found on landscape trees, they should be tested for soundness. If the decay is extensive, the tree may be at high risk of failure. ![]() If found on landscape trees, they may be a sign of internal decay that could be dangerous. Turkey tail, much like other mushroom species, grows on dead wood. Some can be found growing year-round, but most thrive in fall and winter while they’re releasing spores. It plays a large role in returning nutrients to the soil in woodlands. This mushroom causes white rot of the sapwood and can add to the decomposition process. Turkey tail is a very common mushroom found almost anywhere where there is decomposing wood. The underneath is porous and white/light brown in color. There tend to be many fruiting bodies in one spot. It normally grows in layers, and is not very thick, only a few millimeters at most. The surface of the cap can range in size and has a leather texture and rings of different shades of blacks, browns, whites and creams. ![]() Turkey tail is a polypore mushroom that gets its name from the variety of colors and shape that resemble the tail feathers of wild turkeys. ![]()
