Yellow Branched Oyster Info:
The Branched Oyster mushroom (Pleurotus cornucopiae) is known for its elegant, cream to pale yellow caps and distinctive goblet shape. Its species name, meaning "of the Cornucopia" (horn of plenty), likely refers to the abundant, horn-shaped clusters of mushrooms it produces.
This particular strain features bright, cheerful yellow caps that are eye-catching and beautiful. Native to the UK, it can be found in the wild from late spring through autumn, growing on stumps and fallen trunks of oak, beech, elm, and other deciduous trees.
Branched Oyster mushrooms have a rich, earthy flavour with subtle seafood notes and a firm, meaty texture, making them a versatile addition to various dishes.
This native species grows best outdoors, but it can also be grown indoors.
Cooking Tips: With their earthy flavours and firm texture, the caps of these mushrooms are great in Asian-style soups or simply sautéed with garlic on toast. The flavour has mild notes reminiscent of seafood and combined with its meaty texture, it would make a good vegan substitute for monk fish. When chopped, the stems from the large mushrooms make a great vegan substitute for mince in anything from spaghetti bolognese to homemade sausages.
