Oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus) are among the world's most widely cultivated mushrooms, with commercial production dating back to World War I. First identified by a Dutch naturalist in 1775, they are native to Britain, Ireland, Europe, and parts of Asia. Their name comes from their distinctive oyster-shaped caps—and, some say, their delicate flavor and texture.
With more than 200 edible species, Oyster mushrooms offer remarkable variety.
