Happy Mushroom Monday! 🍄

At a recent Deep Playa Campout event, I was fortunate enough to try a variety of mushrooms from PNW Mushrooms, and OH MY GOODNESS!!! Have you ever seen such pretty mushies!?

A huge thank you to William for gifting a bunch of us with these fantastical fungi. It was one of my highlights from that weekend, and such a nice treat. 😊

I highly recommend checking them out on their IG page HERE.

The pink oysters when fried taste like bacon. So good!

FOTD #042 : pink oyster! (pleurotus djamor)

the pink oyster mushroom is a fungus in the family pleurotaceae. it is most commonly found in mexico, indonesia & places with similar climates !!

the big question : can i bite it?? YES :-) this fungus is edible & delicious. it is used in asian cooking. despite its choice edibility, it is rarely sold due to its 24h shelf life.

p. djamor description :

"the pink oyster mushroom, unsurprisingly, has a pink color. it has a curly cap which is 2 – 5 cm in diameter. the caps are also quite thin. the gills are long & pronounced. the stem is very short or even non existent."

Here we have Pleurotus djamor, also known as the pink oyster mushroom. Oyster mushrooms are delicious, abundant, and easy to identify, making them popular among mushroom hunters of all skill levels. This pink variety prefers warm and humid conditions, and are most often found in tropical climates. They’re immensely popular in central Mexico, with the vast majority of locals able to identify them. Not only is this mushroom bountiful, growing in large clusters and bouquets, but they’re also easy to cultivate. Pink oyster growing kits are often sold at farmers markets due to their striking beauty and ease of use. Over one pound of mushrooms can be harvested from a single growing block!
