Maitake (hen-of-the-woods, Grifola frondosa, literally "dancing mushroom", a name derived from the reactions of seekers who danced for joy when they found this amazing and highly prized mushroom) is a parasitic polypore mushroom with a fruit body that forms a large cluster, consisting of a stem with many fused caps. The Maitake fruit body can reach a width of up to 100 cm. It grows at the base of trees and on stumps. Maitake is native to Asia and North America, but is now widespread worldwide and is also commercially cultivated.

Maitake is popular in cuisine, has a rich delicate taste and a very pleasant aroma, but it is even more known as a vital mushroom used for thousands of years in traditional Chinese medicine, while "Western cultures" first described it only in 1785, by the Scottish mycologist James J. Dickson. Maitake contains many biologically active substances, starting with vitamins and minerals, and continuing with polysaccharides, proteoglycans (D-fraction), phenols, flavonoids, and unsaturated fatty acids.
