Maitake Mushroom (Raw)
Vegetables · Mushrooms
Maitake mushrooms are low FODMAP at 75 g raw weight, approximately two-thirds of a cup, in the Monash app. The entry also explicitly says they remain low up to 500 g. That upper range note describes the app's FODMAP guidance; it is not a suggested amount to put on one plate.
Serving sizes for maitake mushroom (raw)

Is maitake mushroom (raw) low FODMAP?
All six indicators are green at the 75 g reference, and the checked maitake entry displays no amber or red portion. That is different from portobello, which has a much smaller green reference. Mushroom varieties cannot be treated as one interchangeable FODMAP category.
Maitake Mushroom (Raw) and IBS: what to know
Maitake can be a useful option when you want mushrooms to make up a visible part of a meal. Your own response and the complete recipe still count: a green maitake result does not rate a cream sauce, stock concentrate or seasoning mix. Compare meals with similar preparation if you are keeping an IBS food diary.
Gut-friendly ways to eat maitake mushroom (raw)
Separate the maitake into pieces appropriate for your recipe and record their raw weight before cooking. Try them in a pan-cooked vegetable side or a rice bowl, choosing other ingredients and portions that suit your plan. Weighing a finished sauced dish would combine the mushroom, liquid and other ingredients, so it cannot reproduce the raw reference directly.
Frequently asked questions
Does maitake have an amber serving in the app?
The detail panel checked here shows a green 75 g serve and a written low-FODMAP range up to 500 g, without an amber or red amount.
Can I substitute maitake in a mushroom recipe?
You can use maitake as a culinary option, then assess the rest of the recipe separately. A substitution does not automatically establish that the finished dish is low FODMAP.
Does this guide cover dried maitake or mushroom powder?
No. It covers the named raw maitake entry. Drying, blends and added ingredients require matching information rather than borrowing this raw-weight range.
