Grifola Frondosa (Maitake Mushroom)
Grifola Frondosa (Maitake)，is called as “dancing fungi” and also interpreted as “rattle-drum fungi” which is attributable to its growth patterns. In china, above 95% of Maitake with dual purposes of taking as medicine and food is growing in Qingyuan. China and modern US both have conducted research in its high health values and widespread application.
In ancient times, maitake was above price. Its growing place completely depends on the nature because the method of planting fungi was not available at the time, and the places are kept strictly and passed on from generation to generation by “insiders”.
