The oyster mushroom is the Netherlands' best-known mushroom after the mushroom. The shape of an oyster mushroom resembles that of an oyster shell, hence the name. The most common species are the brown-grey and the light purple oyster mushroom. In the wild, oyster mushrooms grow on tree trunks and dead wood. They are grown on a mixture of straw and water.

Preparation & storage
Storage
Oyster mushrooms are packed in boxes or on trays. Store oyster mushrooms in their original packaging in the fridge. They will then keep for up to 2-3 days.
Leave them in the packaging to prevent dehydration. Do not store mushrooms with strong-smelling vegetables, such as leeks and onions, as they easily pick up odours.
Prepare
Cut a piece from the bottom of the stalk, then cut into strips or slices.
Oyster mushrooms have soft flesh and should only be heated for a few minutes, otherwise they lose their firmness.
Oyster mushrooms contain less water than mushrooms and therefore do not shrink when cooked.
