either these are turkey tail mushrooms
so turkey tail is one of our favorites
they are easy to identify pick a piece
and they look on the underside and if
the underside has pores in it which is
which are lots and lots of teeny tiny
holes then it’s turkey tail the top of
the mushroom has stripes on it and the
reason that it’s called the turkey tail
is because the mushroom actually looks
like a turkey tail with the with the
colors in the shape of it I’m going to
pick a bunch of them I’m just going to
pick enough for a couple cups of tea for
Tony and I there’s no need to harvest
more than I need for a day because
they’re so plentiful and they pretty
much can be picked year-round so this is
enough mushrooms to make some tea for
Tony and I this evening what I’m going
to do next is just kind of wipe off the
dirt mushrooms that grow outside of
course tend to have a little dirt on
them alright so these are nice and clean
just going to kind of pair them up into
this pot it’s good to tear them into
pretty small pieces because the smaller
the pieces the more surface area on the
mushroom which allows more of the
medicine to be pulled out when it’s
being centered all right got this all
broken up now I’m going to put just a
few cups of water in here because I’m
just making a couple cups for Tony and I
now I have my water in here I am going
to bring it to a simmer and I’m going to
let it simmer for about 15 minutes you
don’t want to boil the turkey till you
just want to simmer it if you if you get
it too hot you can actually destroy some
of the nutrients so kind of a long slow
15-minute simmer is is ideal okay so
it’s been about 15 minutes and this
turkey tail tea is ready to drink and a
pour whole thing with the mushrooms
this handy little strainer catch catches
touches all the mushrooms okay I’m just
going to go ahead and pour a few small
cups that allows the Tita to stay warmer
longer so just pour several small cups
instead of one big cup and leave most of
the tea in here to stay warm mmm
definitely has a mushroom flavor and it
has kind of a bitterness to it
I think the bitterness is where the
medicine is mmm all right I need to go
find Tony to give him his medicine
