Blue oyster mushroom is the most common type of oyster mushroom and can be found all over the world.
Blue oyster mushrooms have a slightly sweet flavor, with a woody character. Compared to shiitake mushrooms, they have a milder and more delicate flavor profile. When preparing these mushrooms, the stems should be cut off because they are tough even when cooked. Blue oyster mushrooms go particularly well in egg dishes such as omelets or quiches and are a delicacy often used in Japanese, Korean and Chinese cuisine. Once cooked, they have a pleasant and tender texture, especially when fried, sautéed or grilled.
