'Oyster' is a fitting name for these mushrooms because their shape closely resembles that of actual oysters. Oyster mushrooms range in color from dark gray to pale brown. Under the cap are white or pale grey gills. Oyster mushrooms have a delicate, mild flavor and velvety texture.

All of our dried cultivated mushrooms are organically grown and carefully hand selected ensuring the highest quality dried mushrooms.
