Host Defense Turkey Tail is a certified organic capsule supplement made from turkey tail (Trametes versicolor) mycelium, one of the most studied medicinal mushrooms. It is grown and processed by Host Defense, the company founded by mycologist Paul Stamets, and is gluten free. It suits people who want a simple daily mushroom capsule rather than a powder or tincture. Rivals such as Real Mushrooms and FreshCap use extracted fruiting bodies, while Host Defense uses mycelium grown on brown rice, so the capsule carries some rice-derived starch alongside the mushroom material.

Owners generally describe it as an easy, well-tolerated daily capsule from a brand they trust. Some question the mycelium-on-rice approach and want clearer potency figures.

The capsules also contain freeze-dried myceliated brown rice (certified organic) and pullulan. The product is gluten free. In a National Institutes of Health-funded study, Host Defense's Turkey Tail was shown to be immunologically active.
