It grows wild in parts of Japan, China, and North America, at the bottom of Oak, Elm, and Maple trees.

Maitake is a type of adaptogen. Adaptogens assist the body in fighting against any type of mental or physical difficulty. They also work to regulate systems of the body that have become unbalanced.
