message: It's classified as simply edible, but I thought it was choice. I may be wrong but was under the impression that wild maitakes were considered highly prized gourmet mushrooms, at least in Japan. I may be wrong though, I got that idea watching an episode of Iron Chef in which it was the secret ingredient. 63.3.9.129 (talk) 02:37, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

message: I wonder why it was called Dancing Mushroom in its region of origin. Does anyone know that (which then should be added to the article) ?

thread_title:  Why ''dancing'' Mushroom ? 

message: I wouldn't be surprised if the "dancing mushroom" translation was original research.  The kanji for maitake are 舞茸 - the latter being 'mushroom' and the former being any one of 'dance', 'flit', 'circle', 'wheel', 'posture', 'prance', 'brandish'.  Without a subject matter expert, the first character could refer to anything.  Maybe even the shape of the thing.  Many japanese mushrooms, the first character refers to the type of tree upon which the fungus grows.  The Chinese name for maitake translates to "ash tree mushroom", which might be a good lead if anyone wants to find a verifiable source.
Both the description of the name *and* the suspicious inclusion of all sorts of "medicinal" claims should cause some concern for the credibility of this article.  For a vast majority of folks, maitake are just another tasty shroom, not some cure for cancer.  This article definitely has a US-bias.  Check out the .jp article and you get something a lot less fishy:

thread_title:  O.R.? 

message: I have found on two seperate occasions that eating this mushroom quickly dissapated the symptoms of a hangover. While this is original reesearch I don't think this comment should be removed until someone else tries it as this could potentially save someones life and i just find it somewhat mysterious and interesting. Why does this work? Is the compound that does this currently known?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.31.154.211 (talk) 20:45, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
