Golden Oyster Mushroom - PICKUP AND LOCAL DELIVERY ONLY

Pleurotus citrinopileatus. Golden oyster mushrooms have long been a favorite among both cultivators and cooks, and that's for good reason! They have a sweet and subtle, slightly nutty flavor, and their delicate texture will practically melt in your mouth. The caps of golden oysters are smaller than most of our other oyster varieties, typically no bigger than a silver dollar. This understated flavor, natural delicacy, and petite size make them a great starting point for the cook who's still a bit mushroom-hesitant: no need to determine how to chop them up or get rid of any excessive chewiness. You can simply pull them apart, throw them in your pan, and cook as desired.

We're particularly fond of tossing them in the air fryer with some battering and spices, which yields a crispy, tender, chicken-like mushroom nugget. They're also excellent pickled--and as a bonus, this method will preserve their brilliant color. Or, for a simple recipe, just fry them up with some butter and garlic, then serve atop your favorite pasta dish, burger, or salad.

$9 for half a pound. Buy one pound or more, pay $16 per pound. For orders greater than 3 lb, please contact us directly by phone or email.
