very low sodium, gluten free, vegan, low calorie, high fiber, superfood that taste delicious. These mushrooms have been cherished for centuries by the Japanese who call them maitake "dancing mushroom". The Latin name is grifola frondosa. Another name is hen of the woods because they have feathery fronds and grow at the base of trees.
