Botanical Name: Pleurotus pulmonarius
Other Common Name: Indian Oyster, Phoenix Mushroom, Lung Oyster
Identification:
The Italian Oyster is very similar to the pearl oyster but with a few noticeable differences. Italian Oyster caps are much paler and smaller, developing more of a stem. Otherwise, the taste and cultivation of the two species are generally described as largely the same.
Usage:
They can be sautéed with other vegetables, added to pizza, pasta dishes, soups, stews, and complement white sauces and risotto dishes. The Italian Oyster mushrooms are the sweetest of the mushrooms JCB Gourmet Mushrooms grow.
Customer Reviews
We had Italian Oyster Mushrooms and another kind of oysters in our generous order. We enjoyed all dishes we made with them. The spectacular mushrooms lasted very well. Our favourite ways of cooking them were: deep fried “chicken” for the clusters and as “scallops” for the large stalks. Both ways were delicious and we will be ordering more.
