Description

Maitake mushrooms (Grifola Frondosa) are found wild in China, Japan, and parts of North America. Colloquially, they are also called hen of the woods, sheep’s head, or dancing mushroom. The fungus has an underground tuber base and wide fronds of brown and gray wavy caps. They are known as an adaptogen, with a reputation for treating both physical and mental ailments and balancing the body. Maitake mushrooms are an important ingredient in traditional Chinese and Japanese medicine, used for longevity and health. You can find maitake powdered extract in many health food stores, for a variety of treatments.

They are also a popular ingredient in Asian cuisine and can grow up to 50lbs on a single plant. While maitake can be grown at home, the peak season for foraging maitake is the fall season. They can be found growing at the bottom of oak, elm, and maple trees. They have a feathery, light texture, and an intense flavor much like morel mushrooms. They also naturally contain L-glutamate, a glutamic acid that produces the famous fifth umami flavor.
