MAITAKE...mushroom...
Maitake is one of the major culinary mushrooms used in Japan, the others being shiitake, shimeji and enoki.
In 2009, a phase I/II human trial, conducted by Memorial Sloan–Kettering Cancer Center, showed Maitake could stimulate the immune systems of breast cancer patients!
Maitake is rich in minerals (such as potassium, calcium, and magnesium), various vitamins (B2, D2 and niacin), fibers and amino acids.
Grifola frondosa is a polypore mushroom that grows in clusters at the base of trees, particularly oaks.
The fungus is native to the northeastern part of Japan and North America, and is prized in traditional Chinese and Japanese herbology as a medicinal mushroom,
The Oyster mushroom, or Pleurotus ostreatus, both the Latin and common name refer to the shape of the fruiting body.
The Latin pleurotus (sideways) refers to the sideways-growth of the stem with respect to the cap while the Latin ostreatus (and the English common name, oyster) refers to the shape of the cap which resembles the bi-valve of the same name.
Many also believe that the name is fitting due to the flavour resemblance to oysters.
The pink colour will fade on cooking. In fact, cooked oyster mushrooms all look the same, regardless of the colour they started as.
Lead and enjoy a good life, do and say things that enrich... and do not forget to tell the people close to you, how much you love them!
You'll be able to live a life with few regrets!
