- Product number: 415015
- Origin: Asia

Truly a mushroom for oak logs, but it can also grow on beech. You can also inject them into living oak or beech trees; the tree will yield harvests for years and not be much affected. In Asia (especially Japan), this tasty mushroom is very popular. The active compounds in Hen of the Woods are promising as a treatment for serious diseases; see the internet. The fruiting body of one mushroom can reach a considerable size! For preparation, you can bake, roast, deep-fry, or boil it.
