Hen of the Woods (Grifola frondosa) Slant or Petri Dish
Hen of the Woods, also known as Maitake, is one of the best tasting gourmet mushrooms. It's truly a culinary delight! This culture was collected in MN from a large, perfect specimen growing at the base of an oak tree. We were successfully able to fruit this strain which is somewhat rare when collecting a new Hen of the Woods culture. Most don't fruit.
