Organic Gourmet Yellow Oysters Mushrooms (Pleurotus citrinopileatus)

Overview

Yellow oyster mushrooms, commonly referred to as golden oyster mushrooms, are an edible and cultivated species of mushroom originating from Asia. They are distinguished by their vibrant yellow or golden hues, delicate texture, and a nutty, slightly fruity taste. These mushrooms are favored in many culinary preparations and may also offer medicinal benefits. 

Key characteristics:

• Appearance:

  Bright yellow to golden caps with a soft, dry surface, often found growing in clusters. 

• Taste and Texture:

  A mild, nutty, and subtly fruity flavor, combined with a delicate yet slightly chewy texture. 

• Growth:

  These mushrooms are saprotrophic, thriving on decaying wood, particularly hardwoods such as oak, beech, and maple. 

• Habitat:

  Indigenous to eastern Russia, northern China, and Japan, they are now found both in the wild and cultivated in various other areas. 

• Culinary Uses:

  Commonly incorporated into stir-fries, soups, and various dishes, they can also serve as an effective meat substitute. We absolutely love incorporating these tasty mushrooms with our fresh caught Alaskan seafood.  

The product is available for purchase by the 1/2 pound or full pound options.
