Blue Oyster

Blue Oyster Mushrooms, are typically a cold weather variety and are more plump than other Oyster mushroom varieties.

Oyster mushrooms are becoming more commonly cultivated around the world, and for good reason. They are very flavorful and nutrient dense. Oyster mushrooms are low in fat, yet rich in fiber, protein, potassium, vitamin B-6, folate, iron and niacin. Mushrooms are one of the few plant-based foods that can supply vitamin D. Ergosterol is found in mushrooms and it turns into vitamin D as it is exposed to ultraviolet light. To enhance the vitamin D content of your mushrooms, set them in the sun for an hour before cooking. Oyster mushrooms and other fungi are the only sources of ergothioneine, which functions as an antioxidant and lowers systemic inflammation.
