🍄 What Are Fresh King Oyster Mushrooms?

King Oyster Mushrooms (Pleurotus eryngii) are distinctive members of the oyster mushroom family.

Unlike many familiar mushrooms, they have a large, thick edible stem and relatively small cap. The stem is one of their best features, developing a tender yet satisfyingly firm texture when cooked.

They’re particularly popular in plant-based cooking because they can be sliced, scored, shredded or cut into thick rounds.

Perfect for:

🥩 Plant-based mushroom steaks
🍄 Mushroom “scallops”
🥢 Stir-fries
🍝 Pasta dishes
🍲 Risottos
🔥 Grilling and BBQs
🍢 Vegetable skewers
🥗 Warm salads
