Golden Oyster Mushroom

Golden oyster mushrooms, scientifically known as Pleurotus citrinopileatus, feature a striking golden-yellow color and a delicate, fan-shaped cap. They typically grow in clusters and have a smooth, slightly wavy edge. The flesh is tender and has a mild, slightly sweet flavor, making them a popular choice in various culinary dishes. These mushrooms have a unique texture that holds up well in cooking, often used in stir-fries, soups, and as a meat substitute. Golden oyster mushrooms also have a short shelf life, so they are best used fresh.
