This mushroom variety has an interesting peppery flavor that will be delicious with an expertly seared steak. You can slice the stems into rings and sauté them, or chop them up and add them to your favorite dish.
This oyster mushroom hybrid has a ton of health benefits: it’s fat-free, low in calories, and packed with vitamins and minerals. If you’re trying to get more iron, calcium, vitamin C, or B vitamins into your diet, this is a great mushroom for you! Plus, these mushrooms may have cholesterol-lowering and antioxidant properties.
