Fan-shaped mushroom with a delicate texture.
About Oyster Mushroom
Oyster mushroom is a cultivated edible mushroom with a broad, fan-shaped cap and a short or off-centre stem. It is used in stir-fries, soups, stews, noodle dishes, sauces, vegetable dishes, and as a sautéed or grilled side. The whole mushroom is edible after trimming any tough base.
It has a mild, savoury mushroom flavour and a moist, delicate texture. The caps are tender, while thicker stems can be more fibrous. Quick sautéing or grilling preserves a pleasant bite; longer simmering makes the mushroom softer and lets it absorb surrounding flavours.
Fresh oyster mushrooms have overlapping fan-shaped caps, visible gills underneath, and colours ranging from white and cream to grey or brown. They are sold in clusters, whole or separated into caps, and may also be dried. Tear or slice them before cooking, and rehydrate dried mushrooms in water before use.

Portions & preparation
Use the edible mushroom fruiting body after trimming the tough base, and distinguish raw, sautéed, roasted, dried, or rehydrated forms. Oil, butter, batter, broth, and sauce can materially change the composition of the served preparation.
Compare the right form: Match the reference to oyster mushroom fruiting bodies, with fresh, dried, rehydrated, raw, or cooked form identified.
Diet considerations
Oyster mushroom is a fungus, not an oyster or other animal food. Plain mushrooms can fit plant-based patterns, but compatibility changes with butter, cream, meat stock, fish sauce, cheese, batter, or cereal-containing coatings used in preparation.
