    Hen of the Woods, also known as Maitake, is a highly prized edible mushroom known for its unique appearance and numerous health benefits. It is commonly found growing at the base of hardwood trees, particularly oak.

    Key Characteristics:

    1. Appearance:

      • Fruiting Body: The mushroom forms large, clustered fruiting bodies that can weigh several pounds. The clusters are made up of multiple, overlapping caps.
      • Caps: The caps are fan-shaped or spoon-shaped, with wavy edges. They are typically gray to brown in color.
      • Stipe: The stem is short and thick, connecting the caps at the base.
    2. Flavor and Texture:

      • Maitake mushrooms have a rich, earthy flavor with a slightly peppery taste. They have a firm, meaty texture that holds up well in cooking.
    3. Growth Parameters:

      • Temperature: Maitake prefers cool temperatures for fruiting, typically between 55-65°F (13-18°C).
      • Humidity: High humidity levels (85-90%) are important during the fruiting phase.
      • Light: Indirect light or low light conditions are suitable for Maitake cultivation.
