Maitake Mushroom Liquid Culture – Grifola frondosa

Grow one of the most sought-after gourmet and medicinal mushrooms with our premium Maitake (Grifola frondosa) liquid culture. Known as “Hen of the Woods” for its layered, feathery appearance, Maitake is prized for its rich, earthy flavor, tender texture, and impressive nutritional profile.

A staple in both culinary and wellness traditions, Maitake is celebrated for its umami depth in soups, sautés, and stir-fries, as well as its potential health-supporting properties. Research has explored its beta-glucans and other bioactive compounds for immune-modulating and antioxidant benefits.
