Blue oyster mushrooms grow in large shelf-like structures consisting of dense, overlapping groups of individual mushrooms that vary in color from steel blue in cultivated species to brown and white in wild specimens. Their scientific name, which comes from the Greek words “pleura” meaning ‘side’ and “ot” meaning ‘ear’, suggests that it looks like a “side ear” growing from a tree, and “ostreatus” means “like an oyster shell” in Latin. Fruiting bodies can vary in shape and size depending on growing conditions such as humidity, CO2, and sunlight.<\/p>\n
