Oyster Mushrooms can be grey, pink yellow and beige! Although they are often included in exotic/wild mushroom medleys, they are some of the most commonly cultivated mushrooms in the world. As opposed to shiitakes, which impart an intensely meaty flavor and a sturdy texture, oyster mushrooms are delicate, tender and cook very quickly. This makes them a great option for quick meals, vibrant stir-frys and simple soups.
