Maitake, also known as Hen of the Woods, is one of the most prized medicinal and gourmet mushrooms in the world. Grifola frondosa produces D-fraction, a beta-glucan complex studied for its immune-modulating and potential anti-tumor properties.
Our Maitake liquid culture is selected for robust mycelium growth. Maitake is a more advanced species to cultivate but rewards patient growers with large, beautiful frond-like formations and an incredible depth of flavor.
