CONT

Called "pleurote" in French and oyster in English, this decorative member of the fungus family is bigger than the regular supermarket size mushroom. Oyster mushrooms were first cultivated in Europe during the early 1960s. ... This mushroom is so pretty that both chefs and home cooks like to use it whole, or cut in strips, and steamed. Its flavor is delicate so it pairs best with mild-flavored foods...

OBS

An edible mushroom.
