Maitake Plugs: Maitake Mushroom (Grifola frondosa) Hen of the Woods may best be known for its cancer-fighting properties. It contains grifolan, an important beta-glucan polysaccharide (molecule composed of many sugar molecules linked together).

Grifolan has been shown to activate macrophages, a type of cell consider the ” heavy artillery”: of the immune system, explains Larry A. Walker, Ph.D., R.D., author of “Natural products update,” published in Drug Topics, June 1997. D-fraction, one of the polysaccharides in Maitake mushroom, also energized the cellular immune system.

Will grow on a wide range of hardwood logs & stumps and some conifers: oak, elm, maple, sycamore, beech, plum, peach, hemlock, and many others. Logs may be laid on their side & partially buried. We suggest you cover the plugs with the cheese wax

Maitake “ Hen of the Woods” May be difficult to cultivate

Temperature requirements for fruiting: ranges between 50 to 65 degrees F

Growing mushrooms is the perfect thing for the frustrated winter gardener and a great project for kids. I've had so much fun growing (and eating) these mushrooms that I'm going to try the company's outdoor plugs.
