Maitake mushrooms have a delicate, rippling fan shape that almost resembles feathers.
The distinctive looking maitake mushroom is known as “Hen of the Woods” thanks to its unique appearance that resembles the tail feathers of a hen. With a rich flavor as unique as it looks, the maitake mushroom is delicious simply sauteed in butter or oil, browning its delicate edges to your desired degree of crispness. It can also add rich flavor to any recipe calling for mushrooms.
