Lions Mane
Hericium erinaceus
Texture: Tender, soft
Taste: Mild umami
​
Can be used in dishes that call for fish/crab/chicken. Can also be used to make a “steak” in a cast iron pan.
Well-known for its neurological benefits, supplementing this mushroom can offset age-related cognitive decline, and offer mood-related benefits.
King Blue Oyster
Pleurotus ostreatus -hybrid cross from Mossy Creek Mushrooms
Texture: Meaty, and firm caps/stems but not too chewy
Taste: Bold umami
​
Can be used in dishes that call for any meat. Is a great option for those looking to use the whole cap/stem, marinating, and throwing directly on the grill. A great “fork and knife” mushroom once charred on the grill or cast iron. Roasting slices of these mushrooms in the oven, and adding them to stove-top black beans is always a crowd pleaser!
​
High in micronutrients (like vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber), and low in calories, oyster mushrooms are an amazing addition to your weekly diet. Additionally, mushrooms act as prebiotics in your gut as they are a good food source for the healthy gut microbiota that live within our digestive system.
White Oyster
Pleurotus ostreatus
Texture: Meaty, tender soft caps, crunchy stems
Taste: Bold umami
​
Can be used in dishes that call for any meat. The White Oyster caps are more tender than our King Blue Oysters, and are lovely additions to soups, pastas, curries, rice blends. Roasting White Oyster caps is an easy way to yield a tender, satisfying addition for any meal.
