3. Maitake
Maitake’s taste reminds many people of roasted chicken, which earned them the nickname “Hens of the Woods”. Many chefs will give you a premium price for a reliable supply, but they are fragile and you have to wait up to two years before you see any fruits, plus usually, they fruit just once a year. Pasteurized logs seem to be the preferred growing method. About six months after seeding, logs should be buried into the ground. They prefer cooler temperatures in a range between 55 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit.
