Phoenix Oyster Info:
The Phoenix Oyster mushroom (Pleurotus pulmonarius) resembles its cousin, the Blue Oyster, but with paler caps. It prefers warmer weather, making it a great choice for summer cultivation.
Widely distributed across temperate and subtropical forests worldwide, this particular strain is native to the UK.
Cooking Tips: With their subtle earthy flavours and delicate texture, the caps of these mushrooms are great in Asian-style soups or simply sautéed with garlic on toast. When chopped, the stems from the large mushrooms make a great vegan substitute for mince in anything from spaghetti bolognese to homemade sausages.
