| Description Maitake mushroom is a perennial fungus that often grows in the same place for a number of years in succession. It occurs most productively in the northeastern regions of the United States, but has been found as far west as Idaho. The plant is mostly found growing on dead or dying trees or stumps, usually around the base. It can also be found growing from submerged, rotting roots. It prefers oaks, though it will also grow on other deciduous hardwoods such as elm, maple, blackgum, and beech. It tends to prefer the boundary between wooded areas and open fields. It can be cultivated and even grown at home, though it typically won't grow as well as it does in the wild. You can usually find the mushroom during the autumn months. They grow in clusters near the foot of oak trees and can reach 50 cm in base diameter. One bunch can weigh up to 45 kg (100 lbs). Maitake has a rippling, flowery appearance resembling dancing butterflies, hence one of its common names, dancing mushroom. Maitake Mushroom grows from an underground tuber-like structure known as a sclerotium, about the size of a potato. Fruiting body, occurring as large as 100 cm, is a cluster consisting of multiple grayish-brown caps which are often curled or spoon-shaped, with wavy margins and 2-7 cm broad. The under surface of each cap bears about one to three pores per millimeter, with the tubes rarely deeper than 3 mm. The milky-white stipe (stalk) has a branchy structure and becomes tough as the mushroom matures. Although maitake mushroom has been used in Japan and China for thousands of years, it has only gained popularity in the United States over the last twenty years. People are praising this mushroom for its promises of health, vitality, and longevity. Since maitake mushroom is a polypore, they have no gills on their undersides and release spores through small pores. Health benefits 1. Anti-tumor effects The inhibition rate of water extract of maitake fruiting body on sarcoma 180 in mice and Ehrlich ascites tumor (cancer) in mice reached more than 90%. The inhibition rate of maitake polysaccharide on toe inoculation and axillary inoculation of Lewis lung cancer was 67.83% respectively. 72.44% and 45.36%~ 46.31%, the inhibition rates of Colon cancer are 50.68%~ 56.03% and 37.31%~ 40.47% respectively. Maitake antler polysaccharide D-component showed stronger tumor inhibition effect. By regulating the body's immune function, such as activating natural killer cells, complement and phagocytes, the anti-cancer effect is achieved. 2. Immunomodulatory effect Maitake polysaccharide D-component was injected by mice I .P. (0.5 mg/kg) or orally (1.0 mg/kg) for 10 days, natural killer cells, cytotoxic T cells and delayed sensitive T cells were activated 1.5~2.2 times, the amount of interleukin-1 and superoxide anion was also increased, and interleukin-2 was increased 1.7 times. Related studies show that, maitake polysaccharide can stimulate macrophages to accelerate the release of cytokines. 3. Anti-viral effect Maitake polysaccharide can inhibit influenza virus and herpes simplex virus type I. Japanese scholars have proved that Maitake's dextran sulfate has the activity of inhibiting HIV and can improve the symptoms of Kapoch sarcoma in patients with advanced AIDS. The mechanism is that maitake polysaccharide promotes interferon induction. 4. Other effects To patients with hypertension take maitake 500mg/time, 2 times a day, for 6 weeks, found a significant antihypertensive effect. In diabetic rats fed 1 gram of maitake fruit body powder per day, glucose in the blood decreased, and insuli and triglycerides in the plasma had similar changes to blood sugar. Maitake extract significantly reduced the increase in blood alanine aminotransferase (SGPT) and blood alanine aminotransferase (SGOT) concentrations due to liver injury caused by oral administration of 4-acetaminophen. |
