Oyster Mushrooms
Oyster Mushrooms have mild flavor, tender texture and graceful seashell-like shape, grow wild in deciduous hardwood forests cascading in shelf-like clusters along the higher reaches of dead and living trees, especially beech.
Reconstitute: Rinse throughly and soak in boiling water for 15-20 min, agitating occasionally, drain and rinse. Or, rinse and add directly to any recipe that will cook for at least 25 minutes.
Oyster is a great mushroom to flavor light cream sauces for chicken and fish, or to add to fish chowders and light cream soups. This is an ideal mushroom for Asian stir-fries, as they cook very quickly.
