About White oyster mushroom

White oyster mushroom is a pale form of oyster mushroom, typically growing in overlapping fan-shaped caps with short or off-center stems. Its flesh is tender but slightly resilient, and its flavour is mild and savoury, becoming more pronounced when cooked.

It is sold fresh in clusters or separated into caps and stems, and may also be dried. Fresh mushrooms are commonly sautéed, grilled or added to soups and stir-fries; dried mushrooms need rehydration and have a different texture and concentrated flavour.
