Essential notes of the ‘dancing fungus’
Actually, the G. Frondosa contains beta-glucanos whose structure is more complex than those present in cereals such as oatmeal. However, this structure is directly related to its action. It also contains provitamin D, ergotinein and gaba. In summary, its nutritional profile is very interesting, as well as its bioactive molecules.
Documented uses of the Maitake
La Girgola, next to Reishi and the Shiitake, it's a Mushroom of interest in its chemical composition. However, this species is also consumed as food, the simplest way - but also less concentrated - to incorporate its substances into the body. Thus, for a better use of their qualities, The most concentrated way in which the Maitake is found is the extract in the form of nutritional complement. Food supplements are not substitute for a healthy and balanced diet.
Active biomolecules
Thanks to a natural process you can concentrate your active biomolecules until you get a extract that can be consumed combined with other species (Mico-Mix, Mico-Five and Hifas-dotox). There are also other presentations that are obtained from the dehydration and grinding of the fruiting body of the fungus. That is why it is called colloquially ‘Micronized dust’. An example of this format is in Bio-Defense.

Maitake cultivation
As we have commented, it is a fungus that grows mainly on brown or old or inert oaks. Its crop abroad is quite complex, so it is usually done artificially inoculating touches of cuts cut. Likewise, it is possible to inoculate the trunks of them by subsequently burying them to maintain the required humidity levels.
Cultivation in stumps
As another example of the cultivation system of this fungus, there are the perforated bags using sterilized sawdust and rice flours. Moreover, some authors refer to their cultivation on pines. Although it is not usual, this could be related to Paul Stamets's theory that states that this species appeared on coniferous stump Very popular edible mushroom in Asia, especially in Japan. The cultivation techniques of this fungus were perfected in the 70s of the twentieth century.

Habitat and distribution
Habitat and distribution
This mushroom grows worldwide in Decussion forests of temperate climates. Especially in old oak stumps, but also of chestnuts, beechs and jars. In the same way, the G.Frondosa, presents a wide distribution in the temperate areas of the northern hemisphere, passing from Europe to northern North America, Japan and China. In the early stages of its development, this species is soft and suitable for its kitchen; On the other hand, as it grows, it acquires woody consistency, which hinders its consumption as food. Given these circumstances, it is usually consumed through Food accessories.
Mycological notes
Mycological notes
The G.Frondosa belongs to the order of PORIALS, family Poriaceae and gender Tap, in which two species are included: G. Frondosa and G. Umbellata. Actually, the Japanese name Maitake It literally means ‘Seta Ballerina’, what could be due to its peculiar form. And it is composed of a set of small carpophores soldiers with each other that they give it Floral set aspect well ordered on an axis. Of this, their overlapping hats, of brown-grocery color, which form a fan -shaped mosaic as in traditional Japanese dances. Finally, we cannot forget that this mushroom is typical of autumn, appearing with the arrival of the first rains on touches of cut trees. Your fruitful body is large size, being able to reach 20 kg of weight and 60 cm high.

Maximum quality, purity and power in our production systems
One of the Hifas Research Lines Da Terra more powerful focuses on the continuous improvement of Cultivation of different species in bioreactors (Reishi, Mamena de León, Shiitake and Maitake) using certified ecological substrates, as well as in the standardization of the quality of origin ingredients to guarantee the Excellence in the final product That develops with each fungus.
Hifas Quality System
Through a standard of its own quality, We identify biomolecules and active ingredients, We properly select the strains of fungi that contain them, we use own and specific analytical systems and we apply protocols for Analysis in different production phases. Thanks to this rigorous system we offer natural products, supplements and nutraceutics, with KNAGE QUALITY SYSTEM WARRANTY, making the difference with respect to other products in terms of purity and premium quality.
