Organic Maitake Mushroom Powder

Maitake stands out for its unique D-fraction compound and particularly high concentration of beta-glucans. Traditionally prized for its rarity and potency, continuing research supports its unique properties for immune support and overall wellness.

While individual experiences vary, enhanced energy and immune support within 4-6 weeks of consistent use. As with all natural supplements, the benefits tend to build gradually with regular use.

We use a unique dual-extraction process and only 100% fruit body mushrooms in our liquid extracts. We prioritise potency, purity and bioavailability in every batch. We do not employ a freeze drying process as this method we believe delivers a poor extraction outcome.

Absolutely! Maitake works synergistically with other functional mushrooms. Many customers combine it with Reishi for improved sleep and a calming effect or with Cordyceps to boost energy and antioxidant support. You'll also find Maitake in our popular 7 Blend formula.

We've chosen to partner with certified organic facilities that specialise in Maitake cultivation to maintain the exceptional quality our customers expect.

Our products are sourced from clones of mushrooms that are guaranteed to contain the beneficial compounds that functional mushrooms are known for, and are carefully checked upon importing to ensure they meet our high quality standards.

It’s important to remember that China is the birthplace of medicinal mushrooms, having been used in traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years. China grows 87% of the world’s mushrooms, producing some of the most potent medicinal mushrooms available

While Maitake is generally well-tolerated, we always recommend consulting with your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement, especially if you're taking medications or have underlying health conditions.

There is not enough evidence that inclusion of mycelium in a functional mushroom product is beneficial. Mycelium is grown on grain and it’s virtually impossible to separate the mycelium from the grain. This dilutes the effectiveness of the final product. At Touchwood Mushrooms we’re about results and good health outcomes, which is why we only use the whole fruit body.

Our experience in mushroom extraction has led us to conclude that the best way to gain the complete benefits of mushroom supplements is through our dual-extraction method. We haven’t seen any additional benefits in encapsulation of the mushroom extract. Capsules and tablets sometimes contain additional ingredients which again weakens the final product. Our preference has always been to deliver the highest level of beneficial mushroom extract from 100% fruit body.
