The turkey tail mushroom (Trametes versicolor) is currently being researched to determine IF it can be used to improve the immune systems of some cancer patients. A lot of additional research needs to be done to determine if there are benefits. In the meantime, commercial products which claim to support the immune system through the use of the name "Turkey Tail" or by including the mushrooms among the ingredients have not been proven to assist people with cancer or HPV.
