  Taurids are an extensive stream of particles produced by comet 2P/Encke,
which can be observed mainly in October and November as a series of meteor
showers rich in bright fireballs. Several near-Earth asteroids have also been
linked with the meteoroid complex, and recently the orbits of two carbonaceous
meteorites were proposed to be related to the stream, raising interesting
questions about the origin of the complex and the composition of 2P/Encke. Our
aim is to investigate the nature and diversity of Taurid meteoroids by studying
their spectral, orbital, and physical properties determined from video meteor
observations. Here we analyze 33 Taurid meteor spectra captured during the
predicted outburst in November 2015 by stations in Slovakia and Chile,
including 14 multi-station observations for which the orbital elements,
material strength parameters, dynamic pressures, and mineralogical densities
were determined. It was found that while orbits of the 2015 Taurids show
similarities with several associated asteroids, the obtained spectral and
physical characteristics point towards cometary origin with highly
heterogeneous content. Observed spectra exhibited large dispersion of iron
content and significant Na intensity in all cases. The determined material
strengths are typically cometary in the $K_B$ classification, while $P_E$
criterion is on average close to values characteristic for carbonaceous bodies.
The studied meteoroids were found to break up under low dynamic pressures of
0.02 - 0.10 MPa, and were characterized by low mineralogical densities of 1.3 -
2.5 g cm$^{-3}$. The widest spectral classification of Taurid meteors to date
is presented.
