Oyster Mushroom

Oyster mushroom is an edible fungus with a characteristic fan-shaped cap in grey-brown to cream tones. It is one of the most widely cultivated mushrooms in the world and is prized in many cuisines for its mild, earthy, slightly seafood-like flavour. It is ideal for sautéing in butter or oil with garlic and herbs, and works well in soups, sauces, risotto, pasta, and Asian dishes. The flesh is firm yet juicy. Oyster mushrooms are rich in protein, B vitamins, potassium, and antioxidants. Available fresh and dried year-round, they should always be cooked before consumption.
