Our family operates a small, sustainable mushroom farm in the Southeast of Ireland, specializing in the cultivation of Trametes Versicolor, more commonly known as Turkey Tail. This native mushroom is renowned for its abundant healing properties, it has no known contradictions, and scientific studies have shown it to have zero harmful effects (The Journal of Mycology, 2018). Yet, recent policy changes have classified it as an entry on the novel food list in Europe. This has forced us to cease the sales of our beloved Turkey Tail, a blow not just to our family's livelihood, but to the traditions and health of our community. We respect the need for food safety regulations, but Trametes Versicolor is far from a novel food in our region, rather it is a long-standing feature of our heritage, utilized for centuries in holistic and medicinal preparations. We urge the relevant European authorities to reconsider the categorization of Turkey Tail, taking into account its historic use and scientifically evidenced safety. Sign the petition to support the removal of Trametes Versicolor from the European novel food list.
