Pleurotus, more commonly known as oyster, abalone or tree mushrooms, are some of the most widely harvested and readily available mushrooms in the world. They are found in both tropical and temperate climates globally and they are generally large mushrooms that are cream in color.
They are generally found as white-rot fungi on hardwood trees or conifer wood. They have been given the name oyster mushrooms because they often tend to resemble the shape of an oyster shell. They are also are a good source of niacin, thiamine and riboflavin, and also supply folate and dietary fibre.
When shopping for oyster mushrooms, look for mushrooms with firm, dry skin and make sure you store them in a paper bag close to the bottom of the fridge if you can. Before you prepare them, wipe off with a damp cloth (never wash them or soak them to clean because they will become waterlogged) and trim the ends. You can then slice them if that's what your recipe requires.
- For a quick and easy meal you can stir fry them with beef strips, garlic, ginger, any Asian greens you like and a dash of soy sauce to finish.
- You can also stir them through Asian soups or stir-fry dishes near the end of cooking until they are just tender. They will liven up any Asian style meal with their unique flavour and texture.
