The Summer Oyster (aka Italian Oyster, Phoenix Oyster, Indian Oyster or Lung Oyster) is the warm weather cousins to the more commonly found grey oyster mushroom. They’re a great culinary mushroom, hard to find and beautiful to look at, with a gorgeous texture and delicious flavour. They keep very well in the fridge compared to other strains (up to 10 days if stored correctly) and they handle really well in a busy kitchen, making them perfect for chefs (a favourite way to prepare them is to marinade a whole cluster and press into a hot pan like a steak). A great kitchen go-too ingredient and a properly versatile summer lovin’ fungi.

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.
