Oyster mushrooms, botanically classified as Pleurotus ostreatus, are a common wild and cultivated mushroom belonging to the Pleurotaceae family. The mushrooms are highly favored for their neutral and earthy flavor and are consumed fresh or dried for extended use. Dried Oyster mushrooms are one of the most popular mushrooms grown for worldwide export, and the dried mushrooms can be utilized in a wide variety of culinary preparations. The fungi have been extensively used in Asian cuisine throughout history.
Dried Oyster mushrooms, like their fresh counterpart, are a good source of fiber to regulate the digestive tract, vitamin D to maintain phosphate and calcium levels, potassium to balance fluids within the body, and B vitamins to convert food into energy. The mushrooms also contain copper to develop connective tissues, folate to produce healthy red blood cells, and calcium and phosphorus to strengthen bones and teeth.
Dried mushrooms can be reconstituted by placing them in a bowl with warm water, wine or stock. Mushrooms should rehydrate in 15-20 minutes and then be strained in a colander to remove any excess liquid and debris. Once reconstituted, the mushrooms will yield about 6-10 times their dried weight. Mushrooms must be cooked before eating.
Once reconstituted, the mushrooms can be incorporated into any recipe calling for mushrooms. The tender, meaty texture of Oyster mushrooms complements stir-fries, soups, stews, and chowders, and the fungi can be cooked into omelets, casseroles, and pasta or used as a pizza topping.
