Blue oyster mushrooms are known for their mild, savory flavor and velvety texture. They have a delicate aroma and a slightly sweet taste, making them a popular choice for a variety of dishes. When cooked, their color fades to a greyish hue.
These mushrooms are native to East Asia but are now cultivated worldwide. They grow in clusters on dead or dying hardwood trees, and their cultivation does not require sunlight, making them well-suited for indoor farming.
