Maitake also known as Hen-of-the-woods (Grifola frondosa) is a beautiful clustering mushroom that forms feathery frond like brackets. The name ‘Maitake’ means dancing mushroom in Japanese and is named so because old foragers of these mushrooms would dance for joy upon finding one. These mushrooms not only have a fantastic flavor and texture but also are widely revered for their potent medicinal qualities.
