Name: Maitake mushroom

Other Names: Grifola frondosa, Sheep’s Head, Ram’s Head, Hen of the Woods

Description: Maitake mushroom commonly known as Sheep’s Head, Ram’s Head, Grifola frondosa and Hen of the Woods is an edible polypore mushroom. It grows in clusters at the foot of trees, especially oak. The fungus is native to the northeastern part of Japan and North America, and is prized in traditional Chinese and Japanese herbology as an adaptogen, an aid to balance out altered body systems to a normal level.The underground tubers from which hen of the woods arises has been used in traditional Chinese and Japanese medicine to enhance the immune system. Researchers have also indicated that whole Maitake mushroom has the ability to regulate blood pressure, glucose, insulin, and both serum and liver lipids, such as cholesterol, triglycerides, and phospholipids, and may also be useful for weight loss.

Maitake mushroom is rich in minerals (such as potassium, calcium, and magnesium), various vitamins (B2, D2 and Niacin), fibers and amino acids. The active constituent in Maitake mushroom for enhancing the immune actively has been identified in the late 1980s to be the protein-bound polysaccharide compound, beta-glucan.
