Maitake, AKA Hen of the Woods, is a delicious earthy flavored medicinal mushroom found in the broad-leafed deciduous forests of North America and Japan, typically at the base of trees. Legend has it that Maitake mushrooms were once worth their weight in silver, causing the finders to dance with joy, giving them the name of “The Dancing Mushroom”. Maitake is rich in antioxidants, beta-glucans, vitamin B and C, copper, potassium, fiber, minerals, and amino acids. This amazing mushroom is a type of adaptogen that research has shown to potentially assist the body in fighting against hypertension and aid in antidiabetic activity. It helps create helper T cells which help fight cancer cells, type 2 diabetes, cold and flu viruses, improving immune function, the side effects of chemotherapy, and destroying ingested microbes. Along with many culinary recipes, Maitake can be taken in liquid concentration and in nutritional supplements.*
