About.....Maitake
Mushroom
[_private/navdisc0.htm]
In
Japan, Maitake Mushroom (Grifron) is called "KING of
MUSHROOM". Maitake is a very large mushroom, which grows deep in the
mountains of northeastern Japan, as well as in North America and Europe. Famous
for its taste and health benefits, Maitake is also known as the “dancing
mushroom”; this meaning comes from the story that the discoverers of its
medicinal properties began dancing with joy with their new findings. Maitake
Mushroom is high in nutrients including Vitamins B-2, C, D, niacin, magnesium,
potassium, fiber, and amino acids. Maitake
Mushroom appears to have a superior ability to lower blood pressure, beneficial
to diabetics & obesity patients.
Maitake is considered to be more effective
than both Reishi and Shiitake mushrooms. It contains the polysaccharide compound
beta-1.6-glucan which naturally stimulates the immune system and lowers blood
pressure.
Maitake is extremely sensitive to environmental changes, which have presented
many challenges to those cultivating this mushroom. However, Japanese farmers
have succeeded in producing high-quality organic Maitake Mushrooms, allowing for
wider availability both in Japan and the U.S. Both the fruiting body and the
mycelium of Maitake are used medicinally.
