Dried Oyster Mushrooms - 16 oz. (1 lb.) Life Gourmet Shop

Here's a mushroom that lives up to its name-it looks, smells, and tastes like oysters. Oyster mushrooms are prized for their smooth texture and subtle, oyster-like flavor. Oyster mushrooms, similar to the Chanterelle but with a more delicate flavor and coloring, have a mild mushroomy, licorice or anise aroma, a wonderful fleshy texture, and are a staple ingredient in many Asian dishes. One of the most popular "exotics" offered in restaurants, its somewhat peppery, elusive flavor and exceptional meltingly soft, chewy texture makes them very versatile in any dish.
