Maitake mushrooms, scientifically known as Grifola frondosa, emit an earthy aroma and possess a flavor that is both satisfying and wholesome. With its abundance of vitamin D, this mushroom variety contributes to various health benefits, including cancer support and improved bone health. Recognized by its characteristic appearance, resembling the feathers of a hen, it has gained the moniker "hen-of-the-woods."

Additionally, maitake mushrooms are also referred to as sheep head and king of the mushrooms, while their most commonly used name, maitake, translates to "dancing mushroom." Notably, maitake mushrooms are a rich source of bioactive polysaccharides, namely D-fraction, MD-fraction, and SX-fraction, which have been extensively studied for their immune-protecting and anti-tumor properties.
