Oyster mushrooms are back — in black! A member of one of the most popular families of cultivated fungi in the world, black oyster mushrooms are prized for their muted black, donut-shaped caps that offer up endless presentation possibilities.
These savoury stunners don’t just look great on a plate, their unique, almost meaty texture and rich nutritional profile make them a popular addition to vegetarian dishes. Whether they’re sliced, forked into ribbons, or cooked whole, black oyster mushrooms deliver a subtle, buttery flavour to sauces, soups, pasta, stir-fries, and more.
