Oyster Mushroom

Oyster Mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus) are delicate, fan-shaped mushrooms known for their mild, slightly anise-like flavor and soft texture. They have a pale, whitish to light brown cap, with a smooth, oyster-shaped appearance. Oyster mushrooms grow in clusters and are often used in stir-fries, soups, stews, and sauces, adding a subtle, earthy flavor to dishes. These mushrooms can be cooked whole or sliced and are highly valued for their ability to absorb the flavors of the dishes they are cooked in. Oyster mushrooms are also packed with nutrients, including protein, fiber, and antioxidants, and are often considered a healthy addition to a plant-based diet.
