Oyster Mushrooms
Varieties
Oyster mushrooms can be white, cream, yellow, or reddish brown, with a whitish stalk.
Preparation, Uses, & Tips
Oyster mushrooms are best when cooked. Sauté or fry oyster mushrooms in butter or oil for up to 5 minutes, or cook them with a small amount of liquid in a covered pan for 10 to 15 minutes. After the mushrooms are cooked, add them to soups, sauces, or casseroles.
Storing
Oyster mushrooms can be stored in the refrigerator in a paper bag, but should be eaten within three days of purchase as they perish quickly and also tend to take on the flavors of other foods.
