December Featured Mushroom & Giveaway

Hi-Fi Myco Oyster Mushrooms

Hi-Fi Myco is Austin's first urban mushroom farm. This month's feature mushroom and giveaway is the local cloned variety of oyster mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus. The mushroom's taste has been described as mild with a slight odor similar to anise. The oyster mushroom is frequently used in Japanese, Korean and Chinese cookery as a delicacy. It is frequently served on its own, in soups, stuffed, or in stir-fry recipes with soy sauce. Oyster mushrooms are sometimes made into a sauce, used in Asian cooking, which is similar to oyster sauce. 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.
