Pleurotus ostreatus var. Black Pearl

Black Pearl Oysters are characterised by their rich brown caps and thick creamy white stems. They are a hybrid of Pearl Oyster & King Oyster mushrooms, and these beauties are the best of both worlds. With a name like a pirate ship, a soft nutty taste and a meaty stem, they’re a delicious culinary treat. They start out life as miniature King Oysters before maturing into a majestic fruiting body. Then, if nature takes its course, ending up as a delicious ragù. If you’re lucky enough to get a fat one, try cutting the stalk into medallions, marinading with some seaweed & lemon juice and searing on a skillet - boom! Vegan scallops. 

Punnets are approx 200g.

Collection only from The Mill, Penryn, TR10 8FN. Orders available for collection within 24 hours, Mon-Thu. If you need to collect your order at a specific time / day, please email us to arrange.
