oyster mushroom
noun oyster mushrooms
- The mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus, which in the wild grows chiefly on hardwood trees, and is cultivated for food. Particularly good cooking techniques for the Oyster mushroom are stir or deep frying, sautéing, and braising. Some folks enjoy eating them raw in salads, but we do not recommend this. Oyster mushrooms are complemented by onions, butter, mild cheeses, fish, chicken, cream sauces, and gentle herbs.
-
Any of several mushrooms of the genus Pleurotus cultivated for food.
It is apparent that the production of Oyster mushroom in early 80's was negligible but due to simplicity of cultivation procedure and broad adaptability of different Pleurotus species, the Oyster mushroom has emerged as a mushroom of significance and it is expected that the production will continue
Similar: abalone mushroom, tree oyster, woods oyster
