Pleurotus djamor

As we start warming up here in Falifornia, these flamboyant tropical fungi are coming out to play. Widespread in the tropics, they grow on anything from palms, rubber trees to bamboo. They’re a treat to grow, with their beautiful shape and vibrant colour - even the mycelium turns pink as it matures and gets ready to fruit. They are delicious, with a classic oyster mushroom flavour but a thicker texture. We like them best marinaded & crispy, like bacon for breakfast. It’s worth noting that as they cook, they’ll lose that vibrant pink in favour of a rich, creamy brown. You won’t mind that once you’re tucking in though.

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.

Oyster mushrooms contain high levels of the amino acid & antioxidant compound ergothioneine which has been used to support conditions related to ageing. They contain beneficial B vitamins including riboflavin & niacin which are useful for promoting healthy red blood cells, skin and nervous system. They contain free radical busting flavonoids & phenolics. Furthermore they produce lovastatin in their spores, cap and gills, which has been shown to aid the lowering of blood cholesterol.
