Wild Maitake / Hen of the Woods sustainably foraged in upstate New York and carefully dried in small batches.  

Maitake / Hen of the Woods is a meaty, delicious mushroom of spoon-shaped caps with whitish pores and lateral stalks branching out from a fleshy, compound base; there are variations in color from white to grey to light brown or dark brown depending on the specific mushroom.  

Maitake retains good flavor when dried, is excellent in soups, sauces and stews, and can be used to make tea.  Maitake is widely believed to have medicinal properties and contains chemicals that might help fight tumors, stimulate the immune system and lower blood sugar levels.  

The mushrooms are dried in small to medium sized chunks and stored in zip lock bags.   Free shipping in the continental U.S.
