Dried Organic USA Maitake Mushrooms (Hen of the Woods)

Maitake mushrooms form a tan to gray cluster of “petals” or fronds on a central stalk.  When growing in the wild at the base of oak trees they resemble a hen with ruffled feathers and are often know as the “Hen of the Woods”.  Maitake mushrooms add a distinctively rich flavor to egg dishes, tempura, pasta sauces, soups, and stews.  Similar to shiitake mushrooms they are delicious paired with chicken. These organic Maitake mushrooms were grown, harvested, and dried in the USA.
