Our Gourmet Mushrooms
-
Blue Oyster
The Blue Oyster, or Pleurotus ostreatus, is a meaty and beautiful mushroom. Some call it the gateway shroom. It absorbs the flavor of its complimentary dish, but also crisps up nicely in the pan as a standalone snack.
-
Yellow Oyster
The Yellow Oyster, or Pleurotus citrinopileatus, is so cool - it's alsoeasilyone of the best smelling fresh mushrooms. The flavor of our Yellow Oyster is very subtle, and it has the unique characteristic of tasting as it smells. Similar to the Blue and Pink Oyster, it crisps up nicely and excels at taking on the flavor of its dish.
-
Pink Oyster
The Pink Oyster, or Pleurotus djamor, is like a salmon, but (surprise) it's actually a mushroom! There are so many interesting ways to prepare this mushroom, but our favorite is pan searing the entire cap in butter and bacon salt.
-
Pearl King Oyster
The Pearl King is a thick and meaty mushroom. The stems on this mushroom are often used as meat alternatives due to their sensational texture, and the cap is buttery and slightly softer.
-
Lion's Mane
Lion's Mane, or Hericium erinaceus, offers a lot to the adventurous cook. Deep fry it for delicious tenders, or use it as a fish or meat alternative when you want to embellish your dish with something more unique.
-
King Oyster
The King Oyster, or Pleurotus eryngii, is thick. The stems on this mushroom are often used as meat alternatives due to their sensational texture. We find the transition from stem to cap on this mushroom tastes the best - there's just a little extra umami there.
