Maitake (Hen of the Woods) - The Complete Growing Guide (PDF)

Hen of the woods - the "dancing mushroom": a magnificent layered rosette of grey-brown fronds that grows wild at the base of old oaks, prized in the kitchen and respected as a medicinal mushroom. It is one of the harder mushrooms to cultivate, but it can be grown at home on a bran-rich sawdust block buried in soil. This guide takes you through that buried-block method: substrate, forming the mass, the autumn cool-down that triggers fruiting, harvesting the cluster, and cooking it.
