Hi-Fi Myco Pink Oyster Mushrooms
Hi-Fi Myco is Austin's first urban mushroom farm. This month's feature mushroom and giveaway is the Pink Oyster mushroom, Pleurotus djamor. The flavor of the pink oyster mushroom has been described as meaty and fishy. Just like most mushrooms it has quite the umami flavor. When fried until crispy, it resembles bacon or even ham. When cooked, however, the pink color quickly fades. It has a curly cap which is 2 - 5 cm in diameter. This mushroom is rich in protein, contains plenty of B vitamins, and studies show they help regulate blood sugar. Pink Oyster mushrooms are available for purchase on their website for pick-up at the following Farmers Markets: Lakeline, Sunset Valley, Downtown, New Braunfels, and Mueller.
