About Dried oyster mushrooms

Dried oyster mushrooms are oyster mushrooms preserved by drying, commonly sold as whole caps, strips or broken pieces. They are pale cream to grey or brown, with a fan-shaped cap when whole; drying makes them brittle, while rehydration and cooking produce a tender, somewhat chewy texture and savoury flavour.

They are commonly soaked or added to liquid-based dishes before cooking, and are used in soups, stir-fries and sauces. Species, cap size, stem proportion and drying method can vary. The dried form is distinct from fresh oyster mushrooms in texture, concentration and cooking behaviour.
