Four Leaf Rover - Turkey Tail Mushroom for Dogs 50g
Turkey tail mushroom offers significant health benefits for dogs, particularly due to its immune-enhancing properties. The fruiting body of the turkey tail mushroom is an excellent source of beta-glucans, polysaccharides that support immune health. Beta-glucans from the mushroom fruiting body are more bioavailable and potent compared to those extracted from mycelium grown on grain. They're also less than 5% starch, whereas mycelium on grain is very high in carbohydrate and starch content.

FAQ's
What is Turkey Tail?
Turkey tail is a cloud mushroom found in many regions around the globe. It blossoms on dead wood. Turkey Tail is unique in that it can survive and thrive all year long. Most mushrooms grow only in the warmer seasons. Turkey tail can survive during hot and cold temperatures.
Turkey Tail includes more immune supporting beta-glucans than any other mushroom. For this reason, we recommend the combination of Seven 'Shrooms and Turkey Tail for more compromised immune systems.
How do I know if I have a real mushroom product?
Simple: ask for the beta-glucan content. Not the polysaccharide content, but the beta-glucan content. Beta-glucan is unique to mushrooms whereas polysaccharides and alpha-glucans are rich in the grains mycelium is grown in. We provide a third-party analysis with our mushrooms to show they're high in beta-glucans.
How are your mushrooms grown?
Four Leaf Rover mushrooms are grown on wood. This process ensures your dog receives the benefits of the whole fruiting body and not just the mycelium.
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.
Mycelium lacks the high beta-glucan content found in the whole mushroom.
After harvest, our mushrooms are tested for heavy metals and pesticides, then double extracted for maximum quality and bioavailability.
Are your mushrooms water extracted or dried?
Our mushrooms are both hot water and alcohol extracted. The fruiting bodies need this double extraction to break down the cell walls of the chitin.
Extraction pulls out the beta-glucans. The extract is then dried into a powder with all the essential mushroom elements intact.
How do I know if your mushrooms are high quality?
Our mushrooms are certified organic, and free from heavy metals and pesticides. Every batch is tested for beta-glucan content to make sure the mushrooms are truly effective. No mycelium, no grains, and no starch ever.
Can Turkey Tail be given with Seven 'Shrooms?
Seven 'Shrooms is a combination of 7 organic mushrooms that work synergistically, it includes Turkey tail. Chosen for their high beta-glucan content, the 7 mushrooms are best known for their ability to support the immune system.
For dogs with more compromised immune systems, we recommend adding our Turkey Tail product to Seven 'Shrooms to provide additional support.
Is it ok to give my dogs mushrooms more than once a day?
Yes! You can give orally once or twice daily or as directed by your vet.
