Dharma Maitake
B tier
Dharma maitake is a specialty trade moniker sometimes used for premium or spiritual-marketed maitake products—still G. frondosa fronds with woodsy flavour. Quality depends on grower, not the dharma label alone. Cook as maitake; seek fresh dense clusters. Niche naming in wellness and gourmet channels. Judge by aroma and firmness.
