The oyster mushroom has a mild, subtle flavour and a velvety texture. This mushroom grows in fan-shaped clusters on dead wood, such as fallen logs and branches. They are often used in vegetarian dishes as a meat substitute, thanks to their firm bite. Popular uses include stir-frying, grilling and adding to soups and sauces, where their delicate flavour and pleasant texture come into their own. Also available: Pink and Yellow Oyster Mushroom
