Oyster mushroom is a fan-shaped, gray to tan mushroom with delicate caps and short off-center stems. It has a mild, savory aroma and tender texture that crisps at the edges when seared; commonly sautéed, roasted, or grilled and used in stir-fries, pastas, and tacos; sold in clusters or loose caps.\n\nNative to temperate forests of Europe and Asia, it is now widely cultivated worldwide on straw or sawdust substrates. It features in East Asian and Central European cuisines and is produced year-round in indoor farms.
